Data and analytics can be utilized by companies in ways that can transform industries. With good data and strong analytic capabilities, organizations can make informed and, conceivably, better decisions using data, without having to rely exclusively on intuition. Without analytics powered by trusted data there is no digital transformation enabling enhanced customer interactions and delivering competitive advantages, and the pace of innovation is significantly slowed.
Investments in data and analytics capabilities and initiatives are greater than ever, but organizations are coming to the growing realization that embedding these capabilities within their firms and transforming the cultures of their organizations will take time. And despite this increased investment, many organizations continue to struggle to drive business transformation from their data and analytics.
The good news is that 91.9% of CDO/CDAOs and data leaders stated that their firms had delivered measurable business value from data and analytics investment. But this contrasts with the progress they are making in developing long-term capabilities. Many firms seem able to focus on specific initiatives or problems, but building scalable, sustainable capabilities remains difficult.

Case Study: Real-World Informatics & Analytics at a Global Pharmaceutical Company
Two major pharmaceutical companies had merged to create a global pharmaceutical giant. The combined entity launched a major data and analytics modernization program. The program included rationalization of existing and duplicative functionality within the original companies and sought to drive and accelerate innovation and insights.
Wavestone designed a cloud-based Data & Analytics platform that enabled near-real-time capabilities and rapid scaling, empowered ad-hoc, in-memory business intelligence and v isual analytics across the firm, improved data discovery through the implementation of a data catalog, and modernized data acquisition, curation, encryption, and archiving.
The work resulted in measurable, improved customer experience and loyalty, improved revenues, lower-cost/more efficient operations, integrated and aligned business processes, and more transparent risk management, including the implementation of enterprise-class data security and compliance.
