Self-Serve Data Prep Takes the Pain Out of Data Preparation!
Let’s talk about data preparation! That often cumbersome, always complex process by which data scientists and IT professionals gather and prepare data for analysis. Data prep involves the extraction and transformation of raw data to prepare that data for analysis. It includes cleaning and reducing that data by removing outliers and standardizing data formats, among other things. Without data preparation, data analysis can often be misleading and incorrect – garbage in/garbage out, if you will.
Data preparation tools are an important part of this process; a process that is typically managed by data scientists and others who understand how to perform these tasks.
But, that restrictive environment often delays data analysis and causes frustration for those who need the data to make decisions and for those who are swamped with data prep projects and cannot keep up with demand.
