As mid-market companies face a growing number of challenges, many are using data analytics to reduce their struggles and boost performance.

A new survey shows that tech executives themselves are growing increasingly concerned about disruption, signaling the businesses they’ve been threatening are finally fighting back.
U.S. companies are currently experiencing annual losses of more than $525 million due to cybercrime, with the majority of these losses stemming from malicious code and denial of service attacks.

But leaders who place too much emphasis on technology when mapping out a digital business transformation strategy could be falling into a trap.
