What is your business lacking that could unlock its full potential? 

Achieving a data-driven culture is one of the top three most important business intelligence trends in 2021. (BI-Survey)

Without digital business transformation - and data analytics to fuel that transformation - businesses cannot meet and exceed their potential. The need to increase efficiencies, make informed decisions, and create a data-driven culture is critical in achieving business growth. 

Countless businesses fail to investigate and understand the power of data and analytics, which, with the right strategy, will illuminate your opportunities and can clear a path for where you want to go.

Why is data important?

Data-driven companies are 58% more likely to beat revenue goals than those who are not focused on data. (Forrester via Performance Improvement Partners)

Data is like the binoculars of your business - it enables you to see the future up close based on what’s going on in the environment, markets and industry. Data helps determine trends, patterns and where you need to be verses where you are right now. 

Data is delivered to us like a persistent tsunami from numerous sources around the globe. Understandably this can be daunting to dive into, but failing to explore and tap into the potential of what data teaches us can leave businesses trailing their competitors or miss an opportunity to excel above its competition.

What is analytics?

With only 15% of companies showing effective delivery of relevant, reliable customer experiences, investment in data and analytics can help provide a competitive advantage. (Salesforce)

Analytics is the process of turning information into action by combining unique datasets with strategic consultancy. “62% of companies still rely on traditional tools such as spreadsheets for data analytics, despite 76% reporting their analytical maturity has increased over the past year.” (Deloitte)

Analytics essentially involves crunching big data and presenting it in a way that enables the user to hone in on pertinent information in a clear, precise and digestible manner. Effective analytics allows companies to target specific business, client or financial outcomes, and implementing the right analytics strategy can be a huge differentiator.
