(Newswire.net — October 23, 2020) — Concludes a Research by Tilburg University, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and ICT Media, based on the correlation between data analytics maturity and business effectiveness and performance.

84% of the companies should improve their data analytics

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading global organization for IT services, consulting and business solutions, shows a study of the correlation between data analytics maturity and the effectiveness and performance of businesses. The study, commissioned by TCS in collaboration with Prof. Erik Beulen (Tilburg University / TIAS School for business and society) and ICT Media, shows that about 8 out of 10 (84%) Dutch companies should improve their data analytics maturity in order to improve the effectiveness of the company and prevent disruption.

Most important insights

The research showed that a focus on data and analytics improves the effectiveness and performance of companies. The three most important insights were: 1) Start with revenue generation in mind; 2) Make sure you have the basics right and; 3) Make a good inventory.

Only 3% of the organizations are self-optimized

The research shows that in 16% of the Dutch organizations surveyed the data analytics capabilities are ‘in silos’, as independent tactical capabilities within business units. Almost half of the surveyed companies (47%) have ‘simple’ data analytics capabilities. Approximately one third (29%) are classified as ‘scaled’, which means that there is operational excellence for real-time decisions at the enterprise level. Only 3 organizations (5%) have a ‘synergetic’ data maturity, which means that they have established a digital ecosystem that enables complex processing for the entire enterprise and branch offices. No more than 2 of the surveyed organizations (3%) are ‘self-optimized’, the highest level, which means that an intelligent and automated balance between human- and machine-oriented decision making is possible.
