Research Report: The Future of Data Monetization

Data isn’t just the fuel of the digital economy, it IS the digital economy. Data is created by every action taken, and when properly analyzed can provide valuable insights driving tactical and strategic business decisions. It can also be monetized, both indirectly through the improvement of other assets and directly as a discrete, salable item.  But what factors will shape the decisions companies make regarding how, and where, that data can be monetized to drive new business value?

The Future of Data Monetization offers a global dive into the risks, challenges and opportunities organizations face as they look to create new business value, and revenue, from operational, customer and third-party dataWe also share the findings of our recent study on data monetization, informed by the opinions of 500 business leaders and technology professionals from over a dozen global industries.

Welcome

The vision behind everything in Futurum’s Custom Research practice is this: research should show you what is happening, what comes next, and what to do about it. It should be personal to each audience, easy for people to grasp, and structured so LLMs can reason over it accurately. And it should be fast and turnkey; you want answers now, not another project to carry for quarters.

Whether you are defining business, channel, or go-to-market strategy; evaluating vendors or justifying ROI; or commissioning research to fill an emerging market need, we have your back, with a program that answers your questions with the objectivity and credibility to drive real decisions.

To do it, we bring unmatched data to bear: Futurum research, surveys, and market projections; validated market feeds; ETR’s 15 years of insight from 10,000 technology decision-makers; G2’s buyer and user data; and what our analysts hear every day. Add leading primary collection, from AI-moderated voice interviews to surveys and analyst-led interviews, all turnkey, and every project comes out credible, nuanced, and actionable.

And we don’t just drop the results in your lap. For internal work, we provide analyst-led sessions, interactive dashboards, and a range of formats. For market-facing work, Futurum delivers turnkey activation and amplification that actually gets seen, by people and by LLMs, through our media and share of voice. This is research that moves decisions and markets.

We will meet you wherever you are, from a fast-turn brief to a multi-year program, and shape the work to your goals, timeline, and budget. The right program for your moment.

If any of this is useful, I would love to talk.
