Jessie Cai, Senior Research Manager, Big Data & Analytics Practice, IDC Asia Pacific

International Data Corporation (IDC) Asia/Pacific is a premier provider of global market intelligence, advisory services, and events for the information and consumer technology, and telecommunication markets. In this recent report, in partnership with Tableau, IDC authors Dr. Chris L. Marshall, Associate Vice President, and Jessie Danqing Cai, Senior Research Manager, examine and index the data readiness of Asia Pacific organisations characterised by critical dimensions―people (organisation and skills), process, technology, and governance.

IDC and Tableau developed a Data Readiness Index (DRI) to understand the pivotal role individuals and communities play in helping their organisations unlock the benefits of data to drive business impact. Executives from more than 700 organizations in seven locations—Australia, China, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea—participated in surveys to benchmark the DRI scores and examine their relationship to different, positive business outcomes.

Read this IDC Executive Insights report to explore our findings for Australian organisations and learn how your organisation can progress their data practices and prioritize resources or attention to produce effective results.
