New study : 93 % of people are overwhelmed by data at work

People in the UAE feel overwhelmed by the amount of data available to them when making critical decisions at work , according to a new study by Oracle NetSuite . The study , which includes insights from 2,000 people across the UK , France , Germany , Italy , Spain , Benelux , Nordics and Middle East , found that while people believe they have the data to be successful , they are overwhelmed by data quantity and some plan to turn to a robot or machine to assist in the decision-making process during the next 12 months .

“ UAE businesses have worked tirelessly to get back on a sustained path to recovery and growth ,” said Hossam Refaat , Senior Sales Director , MEA , Oracle NetSuite . “ But equally some have struggled , and it is evident that the businesses which acknowledge they have a difficult relationship with data are also the least optimistic and expectant of growth . With challenges and opportunities still on the horizon , the businesses that prioritise objective , data-led decision-making and properly equip their employees with relevant and digestible insights will be bestplaced to thrive .”
Despite believing they have the appropriate data , almost all UAE employees taking part in the study felt overwhelmed by the amount of data available when making critical decisions .
