Business Analytics

Business analytics refers to capabilities, technologies, and practices for the continuous exploration and examination of past company performance in order to gain insights and advance business planning. Business analytics focuses on the development of new insights and the understanding of company performance based on data and statistical methods. Business analytics makes extensive use of analytical models and numeric analyses in order to advance decision-making and steer it along desired paths. The added value of business analytics is, in contrast to business intelligence, not just to answer past-related questions based on entrepreneurial data, but also to be able to predict and control future developments. We will be glad to advise you on how your company can look into the future with business analytics solutions from valantic.
