Is your data strategy advanced or limited?

For the purposes of our report, you have an advanced data strategy if you have corporate-wide infrastructure in place, with good connections between product lifecycle stages. You may already be applying product data and analytics and seeing significant business outcomes.

However, if you are only implementing data management strategies across certain functions, and failing to encompass manufacturing and engineering, you have a limited data strategy. Your product data may be siloed to functional areas and used primarily for reporting.
