CData, "Data Connectivity: The Missing Link for IT"

In the ever-evolving world of data management, we are all in the same boat, navigating through a sea of data sources and security challenges. The recent report from CData,"Data Connectivity: The Missing Link for IT,” paints a vivid picture of this landscape. As we dive into the findings, I would love to hear your thoughts on these burning issues. The survey asked 550 Operations and IT decision-makers at organizations over 200 employees about their data access pain points.
