The role of the chief data officer (CDO) — a recent addition to the C-suite — is more vital than ever.
Winning companies make decisions informed by data. That means not just having enough data, but also ensuring the data is trusted, governed, and accessible in order to satisfy internal and customer demands — quickly and nimbly.
To drive data-driven decision-making at all levels of your enterprise, you need to cultivate a thriving data culture. But it's a challenge: only 24% of executives surveyed for Alation's State of Data Culture Report say their organizations are truly data-driven.
Alation offers a vision for building a strong data culture that empowers people to find, use, and trust data — to impact business decisions that lead to success.
