4 2022 IT Leaders in the Data Fusion/Analytics Domain for Risk Assessment, Decision Making and Investigations Introduction & Methodology This survey of over 200 CIOs and leading IT decision-makers in the government sector sheds light on what your target customer demographic considers when implementing data fusion and analytics solutions. It provides consultancy and integration partners with vital information on customers’ issues and requirements of advanced data analytics solutions that assist in risk assessment, decision making and investigations. The data gathered clearly shows the opportunity this market presents for system integrators (SIs). As government organizations continue to allot significant investments for data fusion and analytics, SIs are vital in accelerating time to use, optimizing resource management, and improving implementation. There is a need for scalable, flexible software solutions that address evolving data requirements. The survey suggests that many CIOs in government organizations are looking for cutting-edge technology and system integrators who can complement software solutions with professional services, consulting, and support.

Methodology We commissioned a survey of 200 senior employees across 14 countries, split between Western Europe (45%), North America (30%), APAC (15%) and the rest of Europe (11%). The survey was completed by Global Surveyz, an independent survey company, and took place during March 2022. The survey responses are gleaned from Director to C-level roles who work at companies including Federal and State Organizations (focusing on Law enforcement agencies at Federal and state level), Financial crime units, Customs, IRS, and national security organizations. Respondents were recruited through a global B2B research panel, invited via email to complete the survey. The average amount of time spent on the survey was 6 minutes and 20 seconds. The answers to the majority of the non-numerical questions were randomized, in order to prevent order bias in the answers.
