KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – 12 May 2021 – Talend (NASDAQ: TLND), a global leader in data integration and integrity, today released the results of a survey that highlighted the challenges businesses face in becoming data-driven organizations and the solutions to these challenges. It’s clear that business leaders know how important data is — two-thirds report that they use data every day (76% of APAC respondents). Yet 78% of these leaders say they face challenges in using their data (96% of APAC respondents), and more than a third say they simply aren’t using it to make the majority of their decisions (35% of APAC respondents). 

There’s a difference between data-saturated and data-driven. Companies have more access to data than ever before, but there’s very little way to make sense of it. Only half of executives highly rate their ability to deliver the basics (45% of APAC respondents): timely, accessible, complete, and accurate data. Data management companies have been offering to solve these problems for years — but they’re focused on the mechanics of data like moving it and storing it.
