## Explorium research survey

If you’d like to know how you compare with other organizations in the pursuit of the most relevant external (3rd-party) data, then don’t miss our latest research. We surveyed data leaders from companies across the United States in various industries.

In our most recent survey, we asked respondents to report:

 	- What type of external (3rd-party) data does their organization purchase, and from where?

 	- What is challenging about sourcing external data?

 	- What business and analytics initiatives do they use external data for?

 	- What do they need in order to get the most value from the 3rd party/external data they purchase?
