What is a data company?
Data can be found throughout an enterprise’s databases, CRM and ERP tools, and data warehouses. In this sense, all companies that handle client data and/or data relating to their core business practices can be considered data companies.

What are the benefits of being a data-driven company?
Using your available data as a critical asset in your business’s decision-making processes will ensure the accuracy of your strategy and results. Effectively applying data also ensures the impact of these decisions and their results are measurable, which will inform the progress of your business developments. By taking the guesswork out of the success markers, a data-driven approach keeps your business operations functional and efficient.
There are a great many advantages to be derived from being driven by powerful data insights. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Higher operating efficiencies
- Profitability
- Customer satisfaction.
In addition, managing your data effectively to streamline business-wide processes saves time and money.
What makes a good data company?
With an abundance of information at your fingertips, it’s important to leverage the right data to inform your business decisions. To do this efficiently, a company requires a carefully designed data strategy that considers best practices for accessing, processing and managing the applied data.
An efficient data company should meet the needs of its team and operations by having an efficient, accessible data management system in place that can display valuable data in real-time.
As well as keeping a good inventory of their data, companies should also strive to maintain a system of data classification that considers risk-value. By evaluating your data needs to apply the most effective set of rules and governance, you’ll generate the most usable and valuable data.
Knowing where your data is coming from, what it means, and the information it is based on are central pillars of good data-driven practice. Managing the reliability of the data your business uses should be a priority from the onset of data sourcing and collecting.
What is driving the shift towards a data-driven culture?
There is a growing usage of software as a service (SaaS) cloud technologies as more businesses choose to outsource their cloud technologies. Implementing a cloud technology service to manage and maintain data software ensures the data is protected and handled efficiently, while available storage will never be an issue due to the elastic nature of the cloud. This makes cloud solutions a popular choice for businesses that don’t have the in-house capacity.
How to build a data-driven company
While there is no single path to becoming a data-driven company, one key aspect is the creation of a data culture across the organisation. This means applying the right resources and processes, investing in the right technology and building analytics that meets your exact business needs. Ensuring the data literacy of your team by implementing a new digital strategy is also a key requirement for most data-driven companies.
Today, many companies are opting to invest in modern technologies such as augmented analytics and data lakes. However, these companies do not usually have the in-house knowledge and capacity to maintain these technologies.
