“In today’s world, data is a strategic asset helping organizations not just survive, but thrive,” says Doug Merritt, president and CEO, Splunk. “Our current era of innovation is propelled by those who are doing more than just storing and managing data. Organizations that have invested in placing data at the core of their operations are twice as innovative and twice as productive as those that aren’t.”
