Information Strategies Move Center Stage

The flood of information coming from widespread digitization has created new opportunities and risks that business executives can't ignore. Forrester is seeing a dramatic uptick in the importance of enterprises' information management capabilities driving not only the implementation of new technologies but also the creation of new roles, such as data scientists and chief data officers, as well as new approaches to organizing information management resources. This report looks at how the perceived need for a formal information strategy will affect enterprise architecture (EA) professionals in the next few years as enterprises face the very real need to evolve their strategic information management capabilities. This is an update of a previously published report; Forrester reviews and updates it periodically for continued relevance and accuracy.
