Introduction
Data analytics is the collection, transformation, and organization of data in order to draw conclusions, make predictions, and drive informed decision making. Companies need data analysts to sort through this data to help make decisions about their products, services or business strategies. Everything you need to get started in the world of data analytics is already on your computer in the wonderful application called Excel which has robust features. Microsoft Power BI is another tool from Microsoft that gathers and processes your data, analyzes and provides data-driven insights that enable managers, business analysts and key decision makers to make informed decisions in real-time. Enroll in this training on Monitoring and Evaluation with IT and gain critical skills on easy-to-comprehend data visualizations and performing analytics.
