How Asian Companies are Using Big Data

As many parts of the region are still developing, Asian tech companies can sometimes be slow to adopt new technologies as they’re developed. But there’s one innovation that it seems most businesses have been quick to jump on: big data. Asian businesses may not all be in the cloud just yet, but many of them are using data analytics, according to an interesting report from the Economist‘s intelligence unit based on a survey of several hundred Asian companies.


The full report is worth a read, but we’ve pulled a couple interesting charts here that illustrate how popular data analytics are and how they’re being used. First, a chart that shows which recent technologies Asian companies have implemented into their businesses:

OK, so lots of companies are using data analytics — more than even are using IT security, which is a little surprising. But how are they using big data? Don’t worry, the Economist folks have a chart for that, too:
