2020 GLOBAL STATE OF ENTERPRISE ANALYTICS

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

For the second year, MicroStrategy has surveyed business intelligence and analytics decision makers from around the world about the current state of their organization’s analytics initiatives and their plans for the future. Respondents were asked about benefits realized, challenges to success, priorities, and investments—and most importantly, if current initiatives to create and deliver on a data-driven culture and business were moving forward.

As in the previous year’s survey, respondents had no doubt about the importance of data and analytics when it came to digital transformation (see figure 1). Yet, this year’s analysis uncovered that, as the reality of 2020 and a new decade of accelerated innovation set in, a smaller set of leaders were confident in their progress to date.
