- 3. I am the Operations Analyst at Vista Retail Support, an EPOS Maintenance and Support-Service provider. I lead a small team responsible for developing practical and actionable solutions to challenges facing the business through the analysis of operational trends | "About Me" I started using Alteryx over a year ago after looking for a new product to replace Excel as our primary analysis tool. During the free-trial period I was amazed at how easy the product was to use and was quickly able to automate many of our recurring MI reports, saving considerable resource hours as a result. Since then Alteryx has become a crucial BI tool with many departments relying on it for ongoing operations. Alteryx has helped us save resources, increase productivity, reduce costs and reclaim lost revenue.

Alteryx works by creating a 'pipeline' connecting your data from an input to an output. Along the way you can drop tools in the path of your data to manipulate it | What is Alteryx? The use of the tool palette means no coding experience is required whilst retaining reproducibility Alteryx empowers data analysts and subject-matter experts alike to find deeper insights in just hours!

The mix of data blending, preparation, investigation and predictive modelling tools all under one hat make Alteryx the perfect companion for any analyst | • BI Developers Again the ability to easily prepare and blend data, coupled with tools for integrating into more traditional front-end visualisation packages such as Tableau, Qlik and Power BI make Alteryx an ideal Business Intelligence package. Who uses Alteryx and why? • DBA's The ability to integrate with multiple data sources and a range of in-database tools makes creating ETL processes a breeze. On a Stack Overflow post several users stated they've never gone back to SSIS since acquiring Alteryx http://bit.ly/2cPCHHg • You!

Each tool is highly customisable to meet your specific needs
- 10. Before you can analyse your data you need to understand it | Statistical Analysis Statistical Analysis is about scrutinising and summarising your data to understand its nature and make inferences from your sample about the larger population Identifying trends in your dataset is the best and easiest way to gain insights about your business and is the first step in building predictive models Alteryx offers an array of statistical tools for carrying out data investigations
- 11. On its own, it can be difficult to derive value from geospatial data, yet it can offer a wealth of information when properly analysed | Spatial Analysis Designer helps you take advantage of spatial data through techniques such as drive-time, trade area, spatial-matching and point creation
