What is business analytics?

Simply put, it’s using data to make better business decisions. And it’s becoming big business.

For years, companies have collected data about their practices and consumers. Now, thanks to inexpensive computing, more and more companies are putting their data to work—using techniques such as predictive analytics, optimization, and simulation to make fact-based decisions that improve productivity, increase profits, and create a competitive advantage.
