SURVEY STATISTICS
|
|
We spoke to decision makers within a wide range of UK-based companies for this year’s survey of how organisations are managing their corporate information.
Since information assets are often more critical within larger organisations, and harder to manage, we focused our interviews at this end of the scale.
The majority (84%) of the companies have turnovers greater than £150 million, with more than half (54%) having turnovers in excess of £1 billion. Just over one in five (22%) top the £5 billion turnover mark.
The organisations are from a broad sweep of industry backgrounds, with the largest proportion (26%) from the banking and finance sector which has traditionally faced major challenges in this area. A further 8% of companies are in the insurance sector, while 10% are in the IT business itself.
