A Better, Faster and Easier Solution for Data Analysis

Data and analytics capabilities have taken center stage in recent years. The volume of available data has grown exponentially, and the exposure to analytics have steadily improved and become a topic of focus across organizations. The convergence of these trends is fueling business efficiencies and innovation. 

According to McKinsey and Company, the opportunity can be immense. Harnessing the power of your data can help organizations leverage their own insights to differentiate their products and services in-market through innovation, and drive efficiencies with cost optimization strategies.

However, there are challenges ahead for organizations looking to deliver value using data analytics. 

• There’s a continuing shortage of analytical talent. By 2020, the number of jobs for all US data professionals will increase by 364,000 openings to 2,720,000 according to IBM, however only 23% of educators say all American college and university graduates will have data science and analytics skills. 
  
  
• Finding the right analytical tools to glean insights from data that can be acted upon can be a challenge. Organizations want tools that are easy-to-use, reliable and supported by technical experts. Complex data analysis tools that are hard to use can hinder teams deliver value.
