What is Data Analytics?

Also known as Business Intelligence, data analysis involves gathering, cleaning, preparing, and transforming your organisation’s data for easy reporting and distribution.

The process begins with collecting relevant data from various sources, typically stored in a Data Lake or landing zone. Next, the data is cleaned, de-duplicated, and transformed into a reporting-friendly format, often within a Data Lake, Delta Lake, or Data Warehouse.

Advanced Analytics, including Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, can then be applied to uncover hidden patterns, insights, and predictions.

Finally, data is presented in a self-service visual dashboard using Power BI. Based on your requirements, this can be set up on-premises or hosted in the Microsoft Azure cloud.
