Analytics
News, events, thought leadership and more.
Data analysts are the emerging rock stars of business — the people senior leaders turn to for data-driven insight. That's why we're devoting an entire track at the Inspire 2015 conference to discuss the real world experiences of data analysts from Alteryx customers. Attend these sessions and you'll hear best practices and case studies, get insider tips and tricks, and network with the data analysts at the forefront of the self-service data blending and advanced analytics movement.
Here's a glimpse into several can't miss sessions on the Data Analyst Track:

Blend and Batch: A Macro View of Developing Retail Trade Areas
In retail analytics, trade area geographies are often developed on a custom basis for a large network of store locations. Sporadic updating, inconsistent naming conventions, file schemas and file locations left Delhaize America a little geographically-insight challenged. Discover how this leading food retailer solved this problem using Alteryx's ability to work within clients' existing file structures and inconsistencies.

Rentrak collects viewing data from 31 million televisions daily, resulting in over 180 billion transactions per year.
