Successful technologies Average revenue growth last FY (in %) should be integrated. Unlocking value against the backdrop of application proliferation means organizations should ensure the applications they choose can work together to drive outcomes that benefit the whole enterprise, not just siloed areas. Achieving such outcomes is only possible if companies can ensure data doesn’t simply move between those applications, but is translated into the same language, becoming both interpretable and interoperable. Data scientists and technologists have long sought a technological Rosetta Stone to decipher different datasets and create one enterprise version of truth. 5 percentage point of additional growth from high interoperability among diverse and expanding applications That’s because when interoperability is enabled, companies can transform faster, better and cheaper. Moreover, companies with high interoperability Source: Accenture Research based on Survey data. Note: Additional growth rates due to increased platform exploration and seamless interoperability are estimates based on an econometric model such as unlocked up to five additional percentage pointsof Revenue Growth i= A x medium interoperability + B x high interoperability + C x controls + error, in which the baseline is the low/no interoperability group. revenue growth than low/no interoperability companies Estimates include a variety of firm-specific controls including industry, country, size, technology spending, and an interaction term between industry and country. A variety of robustness checks have been performed (i.e., scaling revenue growth by industry averages, by previous growth rates), and the results stuck in the technology status quo (see figure at right).4 hold.
