The research conducted by GEP surveyed IT directors, CIOs, and CTOs in various industries and found that process and data gaps between systems (41%) and cybersecurity risk (39%) are the biggest supply chain and procurement issues. Enterprises are realizing that leveraging big data is necessary for improved data quality and analytics, but traditional software and solutions are not equipped to handle it.
