Data, and its importance for business
success, is here to stay. Companies across
the value chain need to ensure they use
their data more effectively than in the
past to differentiate themselves and for
competitive advantage. Fundamentally,
businesses need to deliver capabilities that
unlock the hidden value of the data at their
disposal to remain competitive.

The 2019 Veeam Cloud Data
Management Report identifies two
significant components to ensure this
alignment – capabilities and culture.
For the former, organisations must
enhance their capabilities to ensure employees
can draw on data insights and use new
technologies as they are deployed. To this
end, nine out of 10 businesses view advancing
employees’ digital skills as vital to their Digital
Transformation success. And when it comes to
culture, more than two-thirds of respondents
believe the company must be more open and
accepting towards digital technologies.
The channel has a wonderful opportunity
to integrate technology, data and training to
enable the people in the organisations and
those learners still studying to have the skills
required to be competitive in the Fourth
Industrial Revolution.
