Is your data just out of reach?

Out of reach

If you’re a Business Analyst or report writer who gets frustrated by your inability to source your own data and have to rely on IT to provide you with extracts, this post will be of great interest to you.

Checklist for visualising my new idea

  1.  Great idea for an insightful visualisation – Check
  2. Great Visualisation platform available – Check
  3. I now have the visualisation skills to help me self-serve – Check
  4. I can source my own data –  Errrrm

The check-list above says it all really; we all have to beg steal and borrow in order to get new data to support our visualisations and insight. IT are reluctant to let us do this ourselves because they don’t trust our abilities when accessing their data.

But what if we were able to visually create an ETL process ourselves, using tools which allow us to drop data sourcing and transformation nodes into a process map, be able to easily show them EXACTLY what we’re doing, and explain every transformation.

In addition to the problems encountered getting the data in the first place; have you ever been in the position where your customer in the business challenges the results and asks you to show data the lineage.

Wouldn’t you just love to show them the view above than walk them through a complex SQL query that took you hours to write.

Visualisation platforms like Qlik Sense are becoming really popular right now, and allow us to create great looking and sexy visualisation that the business loves, but they need good data to drive them.

I’m running a webinar in December to discuss this topic and would love to hear from Business Analysts who’s data is just out of reach.
