Program description

Making sense of the vast amounts of structured and unstructured data that are generated is becoming more and more important for organizations nowadays. Business success depends on having a solid understanding of how to combine big, complicated data sets and turn them into actionable insights.

In the global workplace, company executives that possess the analytical abilities necessary to glean insights from intricate data sets and convert them into practical knowledge are highly valued. Businesses must use the insights found in the vast amounts of data generated both inside the company and in the larger business environment to influence strategic decisions and maintain their competitiveness. The capacity to combine and integrate several streams of secondary data, many of which were passively gathered, is one advantage of business analytics. This allows for a deeper understanding of client expectations, corporate operations, and the relationships between various agents.
