Here is the webinar description:

In today’s business landscape, data is your most powerful asset, but only if it’s accessible, digestible and ready for implementation. Progress recently surveyed enterprise leaders to understand the state of data readiness, uncovering critical insights across four key areas.

In this on-demand webinar, you'll hear David Loshin, Data and Information expert from Knowledge Integrity, Inc., dive deeper into the findings from Progress’ latest report.
