Big data is huge. Do you know how to compile, analyze and apply pieces of data into meaningful summaries or strategies? Pulling together data and drawing conclusions, also referred to as data analytics, is a responsibility found across departments. It doesn't matter if you are in the accounting, human resources or marketing department. You are going to have to learn how to interpret the meaning behind all that data.
Once you've analyzed the data, you must learn how to communicate the findings to other departments or show how the data fits with shared business goals. Writing and orally communicating this information requires business writing skills, which are much more concise than academic writing.
You will need to understand how to extract information from the software that collects the data, like enterprise resource planning software, called ERP software. This software is an integrated system used to organize and maintain the data necessary for operations across an organization. You will also benefit from learning the most current version of analytical software to help analyze the data. Software changes frequently and organizations use different tools, so it is up to you to stay current with the newest and most popular systems.
