Editor's Notes
- To begin, I want to share this quote that I came across, and which I think describes the current environment and the risks and opportunities that exist today. “The world is experiencing a level of disruption and business risk not seen in generations...
- …some companies freeze and fail, while other innovate, advance, and even thrive.” So, today, let’s talk about some of those disruptive trends, how they’re influencing your data strategy, and how Precisely can help you be one of those companies that innovates, advances, and thrives!
- No one can deny that the last couple of years have been an absolute whirlwind. I’m going to take a few minutes to reflect on the sheer magnitude of the changes we’ve experienced and their business impacts. First and foremost, we all know the Pandemic created a seismic shift that has impacted virtually every part of daily life and business for a protracted period of time. Compliance with the changing regulatory and privacy requirements imposed by states, industries, business partners, and customers has also demanded increased investment. And, unprecedented geopolitical instability has created sustained global economic uncertainty that we must all reckon with.
- Let’s take a moment to consider just the impacts of the pandemic that have changed the priorities of business. Precisely and other organizations, pivoted to a remote workforce where possible – connecting everyone via technology and reducing physical office footprints. But It wasn’t enough to just be connected, we put more focus on employee health, safety and engagement than ever before to retain employees during difficult times. Despite those efforts, a variety of factors, mostly around personal priorities and tight labor markets, led to the “Great Resignation” in healthcare, education, tech and other areas. According to a Pew Research survey, one in five nonretired adults left their job by choice in 2021, which created labor and skills shortages. Being at home and online also required businesses to accelerate digital transformation due to E-commerce sales increasing by 43% in 20202 alone. And 75% of consumers3 reported they changed their buying behavior and patterns for good. And you have had to transform your teams, your processes, and your technology to adapt.
- Businesses today are also operating in a changing regulatory and privacy environment. The Great Resignation opened up an important dialogue between employers and employees, notably around mental health and well-being, empathy, and environmental, social, and corporate governance. And at the same time, investors and consumers have increased their focus on ESG and corporate social responsibility for the companies they do business with. In fact, more than 90 percent of S&P 500 companies now publish ESG reports as they embrace their responsibility around environmental and social causes and provide greater transparency into how they do business. Accelerated digital transformation has also raised the stakes for both cyber security and data privacy. In fact, a survey by Prosper Insights & Analytics showed that 64.5% of consumers would like to see legislation that prevents companies from selling their personal, online and mobile location data. Data theft, leaks and breaches are expected to cost companies $8 trillion in 2023. And as a result, we see increased regulatory and consumer scrutiny on how companies manage personal data.
- And our third macro trend impacting businesses today is unprecedented geopolitical instability that has created sustained global economic uncertainty - from Brexit to war in Ukraine, the World Uncertainty Index is at an all time high5. The significant spike in demand for goods and services emerging from the pandemic led to increased inflation, causing the US Federal Reserve and banks around the world to dramatically raise interest rates – resulting in the most rapid succession of interest rate increases in 40 years. This rapid rate of interest rate increase has created unintended consequences and has particularly impaired the value of loan portfolios that has resulted in failure of Silicon Valley Bank and the merger of Credit Suisse. All told, these unpredictable variables and the threat of a global recession have required businesses to recast their investments and returns on those investments. Leaders like you are operating in a truly volatile environment.
- Research shows that: 85% of organizations will embrace a cloud-first principle by 2025 55% of leaders site data modernization as the reason for their shift to cloud Approximately $100 billion of wasted migration spend is expected over the next three years So despite the excitement around getting to the cloud, organizations need to be careful…
- Because moving to cloud comes with a heavy cost if not done strategically. McKinsey & Company recently conducted a study that shows that: Over 75% of cloud migration projects are overbudget 37% is spent on systems integrators since they do not have the cloud skills in house to manage these projects 15% on decommissioning costs for other platforms 38% of cloud migration projects run behind schedule Companies are looking to staff 50% of their cloud talent in house so they do not need to rely as heavily on third parties (If you are interested in learning more about this topic, all of this data came from this McKinsey Study https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/technology-media-and-telecommunications/our-insights/cloud-migration-opportunity-business-value-grows-but-missteps-abound)
- When we talk about the challenfes with migration we knoe that there are technical issues, but it is clear that there can be financial implications as well As an example, this is a British bank that ended up with almost 50 milliom ppounds for a failed migration project Regulators found that TSB failed to organize and control the migration as well as manage operational risks FCA (regulatory agency) said the fines would have been significantly higher if the bank had not been cooperative and worked closely with a 3rd party to help them with the migration
