4 data wrangling tasks in R for advanced beginners

By Carlo Castille 2 weeks ago

With great power comes not only great responsibility, but often great complexity — and that sure can be the case with R. The open-source R Project for Statistical Computing, a programming language and environment, offers immense capabilities to investigate, manipulate and analyze data. But because of its sometimes complicated syntax, beginners may find it challenging to improve their skills after learning some basics.

If you’re not even at the stage where you feel comfortable doing rudimentary tasks in R, we recommend you head right over to Computerworld’s Beginner’s Guide to R. But if you’ve got some basics down and want to take another step in your R skills development — or just want to see how to do one of these four tasks in R — please read on.

Best business intelligence tools in 2020: BI tools for data visualizations

By Carlo Castille 2 months ago

Business intelligence (BI) tools aim to provide easy ways to visualize data, in order to better identify actionable insights. 

This is especially important when the modern business can now collect data on every aspect of a business, from sales and marketing, to workflows and productivity, to hiring and HR, to overall performance and profitability.

However, many of these data points exist in isolation and require the best BI tools to connect the dots together. This is what business intelligence represents: the ability to not just look at a specific detail of business operations, but tie in key information from each angle into an overall whole.

This can then allow for real insights and predictions for improving business performance, not least through Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). A number of software packages also come with their own analytics, but these can also usually be exported into a business intelligence platform.

Companies implement business strategies with key goals in mind: to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and strengthen profitability. Business intelligence can add tremendous value in these areas, which is why business intelligence and data analytics professionals are in high demand. A recent IBM report cites a growing need for data science and machine learning skills (40% and 17% increases, respectively).

Our Online Master of Business Analytics at Ohio University teaches tomorrow’s business intelligence leaders how to use data analytics to identify business trends, create data models, and solve complex problems.

What is business intelligence, and what role does analytics play in business strategy? Business intelligence entails the analysis of past and present data to create actionable insights for informed decision-making. The data can vary — sales performance over a period of time, customer activity, or operational costs, for example. Prescriptive analysis and predictive modeling often contribute to data analytics.

Business intelligence and data warehousing team structure

Published: 03 May 2007

How do most people structure BI/DW teams? Who do we want on the team? What’s the typical chain of command? Are they part of the IT department?
 

Business intelligence/data warehousing teams are constructed quite differently from shop to shop. The most common placement is within IT, although recently I’ve noticed more in the CFO’s area instead.

In business intelligence and data warehousing teams, there is a Director, a Technical Lead (which is somebody that oversees the architecture and can roam into multiple of the other positions), ETL developers (typically mutliple of these) and data access developers. Data modelers may also be a distinct role, or modeling may be done by the Technical Lead. Business analysis is required and may be done by the modeler in small shops. The Physical DBA/System Admininstration needs are generally done by service level agreement (SLA) with those core
