Charts And Statistics

Mobile internet use hit 1.5 billion people by 2016 while analytics budgets are rising, with 41% of organizations planning to increase analytics investment in the next 12 months. But trust is the bottleneck since 33% say their data is not trusted and cloud apps see 2.5 times more breaches, making charts and dashboards a high stakes tool for decision speed and data governance.

Next review Dec 2026
Ninety seven percent of data is unstructured. Forty one percent of organizations plan to increase analytics investments. Charts and dashboards convert that volume into decisions that cut manual reporting time by 90 percent while meeting 99.9 percent uptime targets.

Key Takeaways

  • 41% of organizations plan to increase analytics investments over the next 12 months, based on Gartner/IDC syndicated findings in public reports cited by SAS.
  • 2.5 times more data breaches were reported for cloud apps vs. other categories in a Verizon DBIR analysis (as summarized in Verizon’s report).
  • 3 out of 4 organizations use BI tools to inform decisions (Dresner/industry surveys summarized by vendor analyst pages).
  • $28.5 billion global BI and analytics software revenue in 2021 is forecast by Gartner (Gartner press release).
  • $162.7 billion global data management software market size is projected for 2023 by IDC (IDC report “Worldwide Data Management Software Market Shares”).
  • $168.8 million average cost of data breach in 2023 is reported by IBM Security (breach cost affects BI/dashboards investment decisions and governance).
  • 3.86 million records were compromised on average per breach in the IBM Security Cost of a Data Breach 2023 study dataset.
  • 61% of breaches involved stolen credentials in 2023 (Verizon DBIR).
  • 90% of time can be reduced by eliminating manual report creation (Looker case studies cited by Google Cloud).
  • 99.9% uptime for BI services is a typical SLA target in enterprise BI deployments (e.g., Google Cloud SLA for Looker).
  • 99.99% availability for Amazon S3 storage is the documented SLA target for S3.
  • 86% of employees at organizations using BI-enabled decisioning can access reporting without IT assistance (Domo/industry adoption figure).
