Data Platform & Architecture
View profileData analysis is crucial to all businesses at some level. Businesses create vast amounts of data during their day to day activities and this data contains value that can be unlocked. Also, for some businesses, data analysis is fundamental to their operations, for example, trading, gambling, insurance, comparison websites etc.
Why consider a career as Data Analyst?
Without the ability to analyse their data, companies would not be able to make evidence-based decisions and therefore would lose their competitive edges to those companies that do. Data Analysts can expect to have varied jobs where their analytical mindsets are put to good use by the business they work for to get them to uncover facts in the data.
