In every presentation I've seen where a statistic like this was presented, it was always qualified as "business data". In that context, it implied data bases of core customer, account, transaction, billing, and inventory data (et al) maintained by the world's largest corporations for their applications. I do not think the presenters meant to include things like, for example, the millions of copies of Microsoft Office running on business PCs as "business data".
