Ability to understand data and information and convert this into insights. The BI BA must be able to think conceptually, using high-level data models to conceptually map the real world of the organization. They also need a firm understanding of how data moves from operational source systems across the organization, through the various transformation processes, to where it is ultimately used by decision-makers.
DATA ANALYSIS AND MODELLING
PROGRAMMINGLearning how to code is an essential skil l in the Big Data analyst’s
arsenal. You need to code to conduct numerical and statistical analysis with massive data sets. Some of the languages you should invest t ime and money in learning are Python, R, Java, and C++ among others. The more you know, the better–just remember that you do not have to learn every
single language out there.
Out of all the skills, we have outlined, interpretation of data is the outlier. It is the one skill that combines both art and science. It requires the precision and sterility of hard science and mathematics but also calls for creativity,
ingenuity, and curiosity.
INTERPRETATION OF DATA
CONCLUSIONPursuing a career in a field with high demand, such as business analysis, may not seem like a challenge; however, competition for business analyst positions can be intense. Despite the increasing need for these skilled IT professionals, organizations try to seek out the best talent in a challenging economy and complex global business environment.
