Data Analytics and Project Management Oulu University of Applied Sciences

Overview

After the rise of digitalisation, many services offered to consumers and businesses have become available online and are used via computers or mobile devices. This provides businesses with a large amount of user-oriented data, which they can utilise to develop their services and operations.

Key Facts and Outcomes

• The significance of data and the insights gathered from it is emphasised in modern business development and decision-making. Data analytics allows companies to research large amounts of data and to find correlations and answers to questions that support decision-making, such as what has happened, why it has happened, what can happen in the future and what procedures the company should implement to solve potential issues. If the amount of data is large enough and the data itself is correct, companies can rest assured that their decision-making is not based on individual persons’ prejudices or potential misconceptions but on valid and relevant data. This type of decision-making provides a clear competitive edge now and in the future.

• The Data Analytics and Project Management program is offered by Pennsylvania College of Technology.
