In 42% of UK companies currently looking to recruit data scientists and other big data analytics roles, pressure is coming from CEOs as they become increasingly aware of the value of big data in driving strategic advantage for their business. Adding to the pressure from the boardroom, 39% of UK CIOs and 12% of CMOs are also pushing for additional resources to maximise big data analytics benefits, according to a One Poll survey commissioned by Teradata Corporation (NYSE : TDC), the leading analytic data platforms, applications and services company.
The survey of 300 senior executives in the UK, France and Germany found that, across all three countries, 42% of businesses are actively recruiting or planning to recruit data scientists, analysts and other specialists. Of these, more than one third (36%) highlight the commercial potential of big data analytics in meeting their strategic goals.
Big data analytics is moving centre-stage within the enterprise, as 44% of European organisations have a big data analytics strategy or roadmap in place. Almost half (47%) are already running big data analytics projects or have plans to do so within two years.
“Not so long ago, many companies saw big data analytics mainly as an IT project meeting IT goals,” says Duncan Ross, Director Data Sciences, Teradata International. “This survey confirms a growing understanding that harnessing big data analytics effectively can bring company-wide benefits. However, to deliver on these new analytics opportunities companies need to identify and recruit the right staff.”
