Research

Data analytics takes centre stage as the topic of our Research Focus for October to December.

If your emerging 2017 plans include taking part in, planning or even just thinking about new strategies for incorporating data into different parts of your business, you won't want to miss the research, webinars, Community sessions, reports and resources we have planned in the coming months.

Start by participating in our Jinfo Survey - your input on how data analytics shows up in your organisation will be an important part of our efforts to map the industry and discuss different approaches to maximising the use and value of data throughout the business.

Whether you call it big data, data analytics, smart information or something else entirely, I'm willing to bet it's on your mind and somewhere on your 2017 agenda. These are exciting developments, and your expertise in information sources, technology and value are central to effective data strategies that maximise value and minimise risk.

Jinfo can help. Leverage our research to make your voice heard in your organisation's planning. The results of our survey will provide a practical starting point.

Complete the survey now, which should take no more than 15 minutes, and we'll send you a copy of the summary results upon publication.
