Data Platform & Architecture
View profileThe use of data in marketing is increasing exponentially. Businesses now want to tap into the massive amounts of data they have from in-store sales, online performance, conversions, returns, business performance, product, employee information, pricing data, and much more. From this, analysts can work closely with other areas of a business to make commercial recommendations that can either increase sales, productivity and business performance.
