Data Analytics has redefined how businesses used to make critical decisions. The process shifted from a basic manipulation of data to a full-set industry disruption with advanced tools to visualize and manage data. Extracting valuable information from raw data coming from various sources has enabled businesses to make well informed and thought out decisions that account for smart business tactics.
Alibaba Cloud is a leader in analyzing industry trends and developing the required tools and solutions to support enterprises in redefining business strategies. Alibaba Cloud has created various products and solutions to enable high quality data analytics:
In the previous article of this series, we discussed what Data Analytics is all about. We also talked about what big data is and the challenges associated with it. Then, we presented a brief introduction of Alibaba Cloud DataWorks, the one-stop platform for Big Data.
In this article, we will focus on how Data Analytics should be handled and give a brief introduction to Alibaba Cloud's Data Analytics products.
Data Analytics is a process that showcases and delivers on the capability of adapting to the ever-increasing size of data and the increasing demand to process it. The amount of data collected has to be managed with a specific strategy. Data Analytics can enable you to collectively share information, enable collaboration, and generate accurate reports that can optimize your system and ensure that all the collected raw data is processed rapidly without adopting complex procedures.
Proper scaling with growing data can be the difference between a successful and failing business. Data Analytics gives a bird's eye view of the available data using visualizations with Alibaba Cloud DataV. When you have a resource that can help you implement a focused approach to your business and is based on valuable and exact data, it will ensure business productivity.
Data Analytics is all about thinking from a future perspective. Today is finished, but formulating strategies to save on finances in the future is an integral part of Data Analytics. There is an impending need of maintaining a balance between its strategy and real-world application. Different factors contributing to a successful practice need to be focused on and driven to establish and maintain the balance.
Businesses need to come up with a reliable data channel to formulate and create architecture that is personalized and accustomed to values for the specific organization. Allotting a specific budget to IT services within an organization that fuels and drives data analytics must be a primary focus.
Allocating a budget will help formulate better strategies for the future and enable greater cost-cutting methods for the organization.
Data is the backbone of any organization. Especially now, when the focal point is driven through the proper usage of data analytics, the quality of raw data matters. If the collected data is not up-to-mark, you might have adverse consequences due to decisions made using the processed outcome based on bad quality data.
The challenge is to maintain data quality and utilize proper data warehousing. This is where Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute comes into the picture. The best practice is to invest in a data cleansing system to churn out good quality data for the organization's future strategy. An automated system to process quality checks, data disruptions, and clean the data, is highly recommended.
Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute is a fully-managed and large-scale data warehousing platform with the potential to process exabytes of data. Alibaba Cloud MaxCompute supports a distributed computing model and multiple data importing solutions, making it a multi-tenancy data processing platform. MaxCompute helps reduce costs, implement data security, and query large datasets.
