The 80/20 rule can certainly be applied to analytics because many analysts report that they spend 80% of their time cleaning and preparing data for analysis, and only 20% of their time analyzing the data. You could argue that’s one reason why data preparation is such a hot topic. Now imagine if you could flip that around, and spend just 20% of your time prepping data, and 80% analyzing. How much more insightful could your work be? How much more could you impact your organization’s bottom line?
Companies have internal imperatives to do just that – reduce the time it takes to prep and blend their data, and make the overall process easier for analysts. This is where self-service analytics tools are delivering, and where Alteryx fits as the leader in self-service data analytics.
TDWI is conducting a Best Practices Report Survey on “Improving Data Preparation for Business Analytics.” TDWI is looking for participants to share their experiences and opinions about technology strategies, practices, and critical issues related to improving data preparation for business analytics. Individuals both on the line-of-business and IT sides of an organization are welcome to participate, as well as consultants with their most recent client project in mind.
What types of questions are in the survey?
- Typical demographic questions, e.g. who you are, the industry you work in, where your company is located, its size, etc.
- Questions about how you do data prep now, where you face data prep challenges, and what you’re doing to overcome them
- Questions about which data sources are most prevalent, including which big data sources are growing in popularity
- And more
As the leader in self-service data analytics, Alteryx is proud to be a sponsor for this TDWI research paper. We encourage your participation - take the survey by April 4, and earn a free copy of the report when it is released in July! They will also share the results via a webinar on July 14, 2016.
