"The word Data has been around for a long time and several years ago it was announced as the 'new gold'. Of course information is used in a variety of areas, but in our case there are many positive business aspects to Data analysis. "As well as providing support to customers or improving the product. If an organization knows how long it takes to close a deal, for example, it knows what to sell today. .

In our team, for example, relying on data for decision-making is also reflected in the product - we not only analyze information for the company, "A way for the largest companies in the world. Organizations and their leaders are now dependent on business analysis to reduce operating costs, improve asset use and increase the agility and reliability of their operations in real time."

You need to know what exactly to analyze, how to identify patterns and what insights can really benefit the company. Also the need to build dashboards to display the data in an accessible and convenient way so that all stakeholders can make use of them.

The advantage I see in the role of our team and in general, is that analysts gain the necessary tools to make decisions - when you understand why people make certain decisions and provide them with the information to make them, you can make better decisions yourself. "

" Full of fluctuations and uncertainty, data reduces it to a minimum. "Says Reuben," Beyond creating certainty in the organization, it is about discovering the following trends, possible problems, measuring achievements against goals, productivity, insights about competitors and improving performance.

It's not a monotonous data collection and arrangement, but a creative way of thinking, understanding what to measure to bring the most meaningful insights. "
