Data Science has been hailed as the “sexiest job of the 21st Century” by Harvard Business Review. It has made its mark in the modern era where Data Science is used to boost performance as data & information is the fuel for successful businesses. But, why is data so important?

Data is considered as the driving force behind industries today because it creates new ideas, and suggests areas for improvement for a business. These are the 2 ultimate contributions that can lead to businesses succeeding in providing better products and services for their customers. An example of Data Science being used in business is essentially through sales, analysing data helps us to understand clients’ purchasing patterns, targeting customer base as well as using their feedback to improve the product.

Data is gathered through various means such as surveys and questionnaires. However, there is just so much data to analyse, this is where a Data Scientist will be able to automate processes to carve out meaningful observations to impact better decisions.
