With enterprises looking at leveraging big data analytics tools to build a competitive edge, there has been a surge in the need for analytics specialists in the past. Within this domain, there is a subset of tech specialisation – data visualisers – which is emerging as a sought after hot profile by businesses.
“With data coming in from distributed sources and multiple enterprise apps, analysis of data is becoming more complex and the relevance of data visualisers is becoming more and more significant. The reason being, having huge volumes of relevant data is not enough. It needs to be converted into an easily consumable format for the business heads to analyse and deep dive,” said J Ramachandran, CEO, Gramener, a data visualization and analytics company.
The key function of a data visualization specialist is to represent the analysed data in an interactive visual format on an intuitive user interface providing a great user experience for business decision makers.
