Companies successful banking, retail and healthcare besides are much apt to person a dedicated information engineering team, which means that these firms are much apt to put resources successful the information proviso side, according to Bartley.

The caller report, "DataOps Dilemma: Survey Reveals Gap successful the Data Supply Chain" looks astatine gaps, points of friction and mismatches successful resources. The survey includes responses from some information consumers and information suppliers. 451 Research surveyed 525 endeavor practitioners successful the U.S., Canada, U.K., Germany, and France who had a hands-on information occupation oregon who straight influenced data-centric functions wrong their organization.
