Alteryx Inc. has revealed that approximately 54 million data workers around the world face common challenges associated with the complexity, diversity and scale of their organisations’ data. The Alteryx-commissioned IDC Infobrief, The State of Data Science and Analytics, uncovered inefficiencies, ineffectiveness and wasted time as many organisations turn to data as the lifeblood of their digital transformation.
Globally, eighty per cent of organisations now leverage data across multiple organisational processes, but despite increases in innovation, data workers around the world still waste 44 per cent of their time each week because they are unsuccessful in their activities.
In Asia Pacific, there are approximately 14 million data workers and 45 per cent of time is wasted each week due to skill gaps such as lack of creative and analytic thinking, analytic and statistical skills, and data preparation skills.
