BIG DATA, A SUBJECT ON THE AGENDA OF ENTERPRISES?
In 2015, the IOMC emphasized that globally "Big Data was becoming the news but not yet the
reality", with only 20% of respondents confirming to place Big Data on their list of priorities.
In 2016, we note that there is progress here, even if it happens little by little: the subject is on the
agenda for 58% of all companies (33% in progress, 25% planned for the future), and even as high
as 80% for companies with more than 5000 employees.
The trend is particularly strong in large companies. In 2015, companies with more than 5000
employees already confirmed that more than 80% of them had Big Data on their active radar
screen. However, in 84% of the cases the respondents' companies had not yet conducted a Big
Data project. In 2016, projects are clearly on the agenda, especially in companies with more than
$1 billion turnover (50%); projects are actually being effectively carried out in companies of less
than $50 million turnover (40%) and more than $1 billion in sales (30%).
