Analytics critical for enterprise decisions say business heads

HYDERABAD: The scope for using data and analytics to leverage decisions in a company was the focus of a conclave on ‘Preparing future business analytics professionals’ by ICFAI Business School ( IBS) in Hyderabad.

“Turning data collected by a company into easy to access analytics is the biggest challenge faced. Currently we are working with an FMCG company which wants us to develop an interface where a simple query will be analysed to provide relevant data, combining natural language processing and analytics,” said Aarti Joshi, co-founder of Modak Analytics.

Head of talent at Delloite Inc Vikas Gupta agreed on the applicability of analytics across operations of an enterprise with Anupam Bharteeya, vice president and analytics practice leader at Capgemini. The scope for large number of analytics professionals in the business landscape was highlighted by Pratap C Aditya, managing director S&P Capital IQ.

The session was attended by thought leaders and business heads across multiple IT and analytics companies.
