The research, conducted by International&#13;<br \/>\nData Corporation (IDC) and commissioned by Alteryx, reveals a significant gap&#13;<br \/>\nbetween enterprises&#8217; business priorities and performance, one that can be&#13;<br \/>\nbridged by overcoming the lack of workforce- and process-related analytics capabilities.&#13;<br \/>\nThe study surveyed 100 organizations in Hong Kong across a range&#13;<br \/>\nof industries. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>According to the research, Hong&#13;<br \/>\nKong enterprises&#8217; top business priorities include productivity enhancement, new&#13;<br \/>\nproduct development, cost reduction and customer experience. However, major&#13;<br \/>\ngaps exist between business priorities and business performance in cost&#13;<br \/>\nreduction and new product development. Currently, while more than 90 percent of&#13;<br \/>\n<span class=\"normaltextrun\">business executives believe that data analytics are&#13;<br \/>\nimportant for their organizations to remain performant, 26 percent enterprises have&#13;<br \/>\nachieved <\/span>high&#13;<br \/>\n<span class=\"normaltextrun\">analytics maturity. APAC enterprises that are &#8216;Analytics&#13;<br \/>\nExperts&#8217; tend to outperform their peers across all major business priorities,&#13;<br \/>\nespecially in areas like cost reduction (56 percent), business model innovation&#13;<br \/>\n(28 percent), new product development (17 percent) and market expansion (12&#13;<br \/>\npercent). Hong Kong has the highest number of organizations who are &#8216;Analytics&#13;<br \/>\nExperts&#8217; among the countries surveyed. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\">To help&#13;<br \/>\nenterprises to determine their analytics maturity level, IDC designed a&#13;<br \/>\nframework that assesses their standing across four key dimensions \u2013 <\/span>strategy<sup>[1]<\/sup>,&#13;<br \/>\ndata<sup>[2]<\/sup>,&#13;<br \/>\nworkforce<sup>[3]<\/sup>&#13;<br \/>\nand process<sup>[4]<\/sup><span class=\"normaltextrun\">,&#13;<br \/>\nbefore providing an aggregated score that identifies Beginners, Practitioners,&#13;<br \/>\nor Experts. In addition, the framework describes the journey to becoming an&#13;<br \/>\nAnalytics Expert by achieving maturity in strategy, data, workforce, and&#13;<br \/>\nprocess.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\">The&#13;<br \/>\nresearch found that enterprises are more mature in strategy and data&#13;<br \/>\ndimensions, with 53 percent having achieved buy-in and alignment amongst key&#13;<br \/>\nstakeholders regarding analytics initiatives, but only 41 percent having established&#13;<br \/>\npolicies and practices to ensure data integrity. A large majority, however,&#13;<br \/>\nlack the necessary workforce (80 percent) and process capabilities (88 percent),&#13;<br \/>\nwhich are the most crucial for driving data-driven transformation <i>at scale<\/i>&#13;<br \/>\nand deriving long-term business value. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"normaltextrun\">It also&#13;<br \/>\nsuggests that enterprises need to build workforce or process-related&#13;<br \/>\ncapabilities to derive business value from data analytics. In their daily&#13;<br \/>\nroles, executives across the region currently struggle with hard to use tools&#13;<br \/>\n(55 percent), scattered and unmanaged tools (49 percent), lack of timely access&#13;<br \/>\nto data (44 percent), data lineage and integrity (44 percent) and lack of data&#13;<br \/>\nliteracy (43 percent). These challenges are exacerbated by increased complexity&#13;<br \/>\nand organizational demands for data analytics to be delivered at greater speed&#13;<br \/>\nand scale, with the average enterprise currently facing internal requests to&#13;<br \/>\ninclude 26 new data sources and 30 new data types per month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In today&#8217;s volatile, uncertain and challenging&#13;<br \/>\nbusiness environment, enterprises in Hong Kong have expressed the need to&#13;<br \/>\ninvest in mission-critical business areas. In addition, with the evolving needs&#13;<br \/>\nof customers, enterprises must innovate their business models to meet new needs,&#8221;&#13;<br \/>\nsaid Julian&#13;<br \/>\nQuinn, Senior Vice President, APJ, Alteryx. &#8220;The findings show a consensus towards the critical role that analytics&#13;<br \/>\nplays in driving business performance. Yet, organizations are grappling with multiple&#13;<br \/>\nchallenges in using data analytics, uncovering the need to improve workforce&#13;<br \/>\nand process analytics capabilities. To deliver breakthrough outcomes, organizations&#13;<br \/>\nneed to automate processes and democratize data analytics, elevating&#13;<br \/>\nworkforce&#8217;s ability to gain on-demand insights for thriving in their roles.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite the rapid rate of digital transformation and&#13;<br \/>\ndata generation, many organizations in Hong Kong are not yet experts in data&#13;<br \/>\nanalytics. They are at the Beginners stage in their workforce and process&#13;<br \/>\ndimensions which are critical for empowering employees to do their jobs better,&#13;<br \/>\nfaster and with greater impact,&#8221; said Dr. Chris Marshall, Associate Vice President,&#13;<br \/>\nAPAC, IDC. &#8220;In the face of workforce and process challenges, organizations&#13;<br \/>\ntoday can close the gaps with advanced analytics tools. Analytic process&#13;<br \/>\nautomation, in particular, is a low-code solution that has emerged as a way&#13;<br \/>\nforward to remove friction, enabling analytics capabilities to scale quickly across&#13;<br \/>\nthe entire organization.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>The research findings also highlight the potential of a&#13;<br \/>\nself-service, human-centric analytics automation platform to bridge existing&#13;<br \/>\nworkforce and process capability gaps, address analytics challenges faced by executives,&#13;<br \/>\nand put organizations on a path to become Analytics Experts. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13; <\/p>\n<p>The Alteryx Analytic Process Automation (APA)&#13;<br \/>\nPlatform\u2122 delivers end-to-end automation of analytics, machine learning and&#13;<br \/>\ndata science processes.
