Unlock the secrets of your data to grow your business
Manipulating data and security roadshow
Summary
Data is changing how we do business and also making businesses more innovative.
This half-day workshop will provide an understanding of how to get value from your data and how you can use it to grow your business. This session will cover:
1. Some fundamentals of extracting useful knowledge from data.
2. How to identify internal and external data sources that can be of value and an asset to your business.
