The goal of analytics is to:
• Derive and effectively communicate actionable
insights from a vast quantity and variety of data.
• It covers a broad spectrum of activities, including:
– data management and quality,
– mathematical and statistical methods for data
modeling,
– techniques for visualizing data in support of
enterprise-wide decision making.
