We Polled 500 IT Leaders About Winning with Data. Here's What We Learned...

The use of a combination of technologies such as Apache Cassandra, Kubernetes, Elasticsearch, Apache Kafka, Apache Pulsar, and Apache Spark can significantly increase an organization's ability to generate revenue from data and analytics. This combination is referred to as "the open data stack." However, technology alone does not guarantee success with data; successful companies also follow specific patterns and practices beyond just the tools they use. DataStax research surveyed over 500 CIOs and tech leaders to identify key attributes of these "data leaders" who derive at least 20% of their revenue from data and analytics. The findings are detailed in the report, "The State of the Data Race 2021."
