For many Philippine businesses, especially MSMEs, data can differentiate between seizing an opportunity or missing it altogether.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet according to a study by PwC Philippines, a significant number of businesses continue to underutilize data in their decision-making processes, which limits their ability to seize opportunities, respond to market trends, and gain a competitive edge.<a href=\"#_ftn1\" id=\"_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn today\u2019s business environment, every decision counts and timely information is no longer a luxury\u2014it\u2019s a necessity,\u201d says Pia Arellano, CIBI CEO and President. \u201cData empowers companies to minimize risk and make strategic moves with confidence.
