When 19 of 20 people agree on a strategic initiative, odds are it's powerful stuff. That's the case with information management, according to a recent Forbes study of more than 200 business and IT executives. Fully 95% of respondents say that strong data-driven initiatives are critical for business success. But there are many hurdles. Fragmented data ownership is seen as the single biggest roadblock, but ineffective communication also plagues today's decision support programs. All told, data-related problems cost the majority of companies polled at least $5 million annually, with one-fifth of those companies citing losses in excess of $20 million per year!
