What's Behind The Data Quality Struggle In Enterprises?
Data Science Central, Monday, July 1st, 2024
In March 2024, dbt Labs, a freemium platform and tools provider focused on helping organizations with their data transformation efforts, completed its State of Analytics Engineering survey of 456 data practitioners and leaders.
Among the key data prep findings were these:
- 57 percent of respondents said poor data quality was their top concern, up from 44 percent in 2022.
- 57 percent said that they were or would soon be managing data for AI training.
- Almost 50 percent ranked low stakeholder data literacy as a major concern.
- 44 percent of respondents identified ambiguous data ownership as a top concern.
Unsurprisingly, the data practitioners surveyed said they spend 55 percent of their time maintaining or organizing data sets. And nearly 40 percent said integrating data from various sources was their biggest challenge.
