Business analytics is a powerful capability leveraged by startups, medium-scale, and large enterprises. A survey by MicroStrategy cited that, using data, 60%* companies globally have been able to boost process and cost efficiency. Some (57%) were able to drive strategy and change. A few others (52%) improved their financial performance.
The research predicted that, over the next 3 - 4 few years, 71% of global enterprises would be seen making heavy investments in analytics.
Across sectors, organisations generate a considerable amount of data, which has further heightened the need for data-literate professionals who can analyse that information to derive insights.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, by 2026, the demand for business analysts is expected to grow by 14%. Further, the global Data & Business Analytics Market is expected to cross US$ 420 Bn by 2027, triggering the need among professionals to enhance their capabilities.
In light of these facts and trends, for professionals, expertise in business analytics could be a way to advance their careers and contribute to organisational growth. The PG Level Advanced Certification Programme in Business Analytics by IISc helps professionals build relevant capabilities and capitalise on these potential growth avenues.
