How do you unlock true potential?
A new exclusive study conducted by L'Usine Nouvelle, L'Usine Digitale & Equans
We have just published our major international study on data enhancement, in collaboration with L'Usine Nouvelle, L'Usine Digitale and Equans.
Nearly 1,000 industrial and public sector decision-makers from France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, the USA and Canada were interviewed to find out how to transform dormant data into genuine operational performance drivers.
Data like an orchestra: without a conductor, it remains silent
Companies have increasing volumes of data at their disposal, but all too often it is siloed, heterogeneous and not contextualized, and fails to deliver the expected value.
The challenge for 2026 is to deploy a truly enterprise-widedata orchestration system to create measurable performance.
91% of organizations have formalized data governance, but only 45% actually exploit more than half of what they collect.
So the challenge is no longer to collect... but to orchestrate, unify and add value.
The 5 key findings of the study
91% of organizations have governance rules in place. But only 45% use more than half of the data they collect.
Main problem: fragmentation, low quality, difficulty of use.
British and American companies are more advanced: 61% already have an operational data exploitation strategy.
Massive potential for harmonization in continental Europe.
Adoption of a unified data platform varies widely:
- 59% in the USA
- 38% in France
- 29% in the Netherlands
A real "game changer" to eliminate silos and accelerate profitability.
Inter-departmental sharing is a key factor:
- 71% in the United States
- 50% in France
- 44% in the Netherlands
Integrated organizations achieve faster operational gains.
AI generates value only if data is unified, clean and orchestrated: 54% of US companies are already using AI to leverage their data ecosystems.
Today, data preparation is the #1 factor in the success of AI projects.
