The majority of Ops professionals feel that they are prohibited from accessing the data they need to make quick business decisions, which can lead to bad practices and impact the organization's overall data-driven decision-making capabilities.

"IT is challenged to keep up with increasing demand for timely data access, while also ensuring the security and governance of that data," said Amit Sharma, CData CEO. "Flexible, secure data connectivity solutions ease the burden on IT and provide employees with the data they need to make impactful decisions for their business."

41% of respondents indicated that they spend up to 60% of their workweek attending to data requests from colleagues or teams, yet are still unable to deliver data fast enough to match the speed of modern business.

The top three challenges preventing IT employees at organizations from most effectively providing other teams with relevant data include security controls around data, limited access to operational data itself, and challenges to data sharing.

Data connectivity will do more than relieve IT teams - it's the missing link behind security and data literacy issues that are prominent in today's technology landscape.

Overburdened by data requests, IT teams are ignoring vital data they need due to a lack of easy access, preventing them from delivering holistic, live views of data to support meaningful business insights.
