In their own words...
Question: Do you have any final thoughts to share on your organization’s analytics architecture?
Analytics should be frugal and people oriented.
Analytics is [the] most important piece to drive decisions based on data rather than gut feelings. It’s a constant endeavour to explore new tools and technologies.
Make sure [the] tools framework meshes with the overall architectural direction of the organization.
