Big Data
When so many businesses and organizations depend on data analytics to make decisions, having the skills to organize, understand and interpret large volumes of data could be key to landing a great job.
Analytics are a key part of decision-making for thousands of organizations. Today more than ever, companies receive a steady stream of information about their customers, clients, and audiences – information that comes in massive volumes that, when looked at as a whole, can be impossible to decipher in a way that makes sense. There are many kinds of pre-packaged software that can be used to make sense of big data, but learning how to use that software in an intelligent and reasonable manner is key to becoming a good data analyst.
