David Reed, Knowledge and Strategy Director, DataIQ, says: “It is evident from this year’s results that the industry is constantly evolving, with 70% of the  top ten being new entries that have never been included before. The focus on business transformation and datafication reflects a clear shift from last year, when everyone was focused on preparation for the GDPR. Data protection and regulation remains a top priority for businesses and are no less important than previous years, but it is great to see other focuses also being brought into the mix.”
