What is data analytics for business?
Data analytics for business is the process of extracting useful information and context from data. This core concept is quite simple, although the tools and processes used to gather insights from raw data are often very advanced. Automated digital tools handle, manage and transform data into understandable information. Professionals interpret the meaning of patterns in the data, group together related findings and engage in other high-level tasks that make the results of analysis actionable.
A company might use data analytics to:
- Generate reporting about inefficiencies and opportunities for improvement.
- Identify key trends.
- Influence the development of new products and services.
- Track relevant metrics related to operations and performance.
What is a business data analytics degree?
A business data analytics degree focuses on the knowledge, skills and experience needed to create and manage big data initiatives and their associated processes. Data warehousing, dimensional modeling, big data analytics methods and more are key topics.

No, Arizona State University’s diplomas don’t specify whether you earn your degree online or in person. All diplomas and transcripts simply say “Arizona State University.” That’s because ASU Online students learn from the same faculty and receive the same course content as in-person students receive.
