Data and analytics leaders may be overestimating their companies’ ability to benefit from the next round of investments in data infrastructure data technology. A survey conducted on behalf of data catalog vendor Alation asked leaders at companies with more than 2,500 employees for grades about their corporate data culture. Two-thirds believe their company’s data culture ranks in the top tier among its peers.

The report measures “data culture” in terms of the ability to find data (search and discovery), analyze the data (literacy) and govern it appropriately (governance).

According to the study, 58% of the top-tier data culture companies are more increasing collaboration between business and the data and analytics team, which is twice as many as companies in the lowest tier (29%).
