Introduction
Today’s business world is becoming increasingly more data driven. Small and large businesses alike use data to make decisions about sales, hiring, goals, and all areas for which they have data. While most businesses have access to data of one type or another, it can be intimidating for your average business user to understand the data without a background in data analytics or statistics.
