IDC’s EMEA Data-Driven Intelligence Enterprise Survey, 2021, surveyed and classified companies’ maturity in data-driven intelligence across three core dimensions: 

  • Data strategy 
  • Data for business 
  • Data foundation

IDC applied a dedicated IDC Maturity Framework to classify the 700 enterprises surveyed into three groups reflecting their level of maturity:

  • Data Beginners 
  • Data Explorers 
  • Data Thrivers
