Transforming Data Delivery for AI Readiness

For boards and executive teams across Australia and Singapore, ad hoc data delivery has become a capacity and value risk. When 25–50% of data team effort is absorbed by one-off, non-reusable work, value is reset with every initiative instead of compounding as a strategic asset over time. And with 44% of organizations carrying active AI or GenAI work that depends on foundational data preparation, the pressure to get data delivery right has never been greater.

Conducted by Corinium Intelligence and sponsored by Quest Software, this research draws on survey responses from 154 Chief Data and Analytics Officers and senior data leaders at organizations with over 500 employees and US $100 million or more in annual revenue across Australia and Singapore, supplemented by practitioner interviews. It examines how organizations currently deliver data products, where inefficiencies accumulate, and what is standing in the way of the shift to structured, repeatable delivery.

With this research paper, you will learn:

• Why the biggest barriers to structured delivery are organizational, not financial
• How up to 50% of data team capacity is consumed by one-off, non-reusable work
• What compliance costs today, and where AI automation is expected to have the greatest impact
