Data isn’t just the fuel of the digital economy, it IS the digital economy. Data is created by every action taken, and when properly analyzed can provide valuable insights driving tactical and strategic business decisions. It can also be monetized, both indirectly through the improvement of other assets and directly as a discrete, salable item.  But what factors will shape the decisions companies make regarding how, and where, that data can be monetized to drive new business value?

The Future of Data Monetization offers a global dive into the risks, challenges and opportunities organizations face as they look to create new business value, and revenue, from operational, customer and third-party data. We also share the findings of our recent study on data monetization, informed by the opinions of 500 business leaders and technology professionals from over a dozen global industries.
