Intelligent Data Preparation for Analytics

Prepare to Plan or Plan to Fail

Thought Leadership Series - On-Demand Webinar

About the webinar

One of the key elements in deriving good insights from analytics is quality data. However, many business enterprises are plagued with poor quality data that not only impairs decision making but also reduces productivity, creates inefficiencies, and increases operational costs.

Recent Gartner research has found poor data quality to be responsible for an average of $15 million per year in losses in a business enterprise. This state of data quality is likely to worsen in the coming years due to digital disruption, increased mergers and acquisitions (M&A), and more business diversification into new markets.

This webinar looks at key data preparation strategies that enterprises can leverage to overcome the challenge of poor data quality and help deliver valuable insights. As well as providing a data preparation strategy, this session will cover practical applications where good quality data can be acquired for operationalizing analytics and driving business results.

Join us in this webinar to learn:

  • How business enterprises can apply three key data preparation strategies to overcome the challenge of poor data quality
  • How data preparation strategies can be implemented in SAS Viya for deriving valuable insights
  • How stakeholders such as Data Engineers, Business Analysts, and Data Scientists can work collaboratively to kick off the analytics lifecycle in a self-serve, intelligent, easy to use interface in SAS Viya
