BOSTON, Sept. 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Ataccama, an AI-powered data management company, has released an independent study* which shows that enterprises using the Ataccama data management platform can generate on average a 348% return on investment (ROI) over three years, with full payback in under six months.

Data leaders can use this financial framework to model a strong investment case by demonstrating the significant positive financial impact of modernizing the data stack based on a present value calculation of $15.54 million*** from derived benefits.

This empowers heads of data functions to have real conversations with business leaders because they can quantify the considerable contribution that quality, well-managed data can deliver to the bottom line.”
