Although sending money quickly is key to B2B innovation, data sharing is coming to the forefront. Analyzing payments data is key to understanding your target audience and improving your overall payments system both internally and externally. Without the right data ownership strategy, your business could potentially fall behind the competition.

1. Greater access to data solves business pain points
A lack of data has always been a big pain point for business owners because it impacts AR and AP processes. Larger companies with more funding are able to address these issues right away because they can hire consultants to help them take control of their data. However, these resources are becoming more common and more available to small- to medium-sized business owners, as well.
Investing in embedded payments with a business enterprise resource planning system is a great way to solve the majority of business pain points, according to a recent article from PYMNTS.
2. Become educated on data privacy
Although business owners are enthusiastic about investing in data ownership right away, it’s important to first become educated on data privacy.
With the rise of remote work in the U.S., it’s crucial to train employees to understand the difference between personal and enterprise data, according to this article from BCG.
It’s B2B companies’ responsibility to make a direct action plan to deal with the Internet of Things and other enterprise data privacy settings. One idea is to study B2C experiences to learn how those companies protect private information while also capitalizing on data sharing.
3. Understand that data sharing is evolving
The data sharing landscape is constantly evolving and in order to be successful, you’ll need to constantly keep up on best practices.
In order to encourage responsible data sharing and development, it’s recommended that companies create a best-practices system to make sure they are being clear and transparent with their motives while also collecting consent from other B2B businesses.
