Data Mining and Analysis Services
Data mining is the process of using raw data to convert it into useful information for decision-making. It can be used to disprove theories, test hypothesis and answer questions. This data is for the purpose of inspection, cleaning, transforming, and modeling data with the goal of uncovering something useful to help support solid business decisions.
Data mining is extremely important. Unstructured data makes up for 90 percent of the digital universe. Through data mining, you can sift through all of the chaotic, unorganized data and understand what is truly relevant – that way you have access to the data that matters when making your decision.
For businesses, data mining is critical. It helps companies discover patterns and relationships with their data so that they can make a sound decision – as well as identify any transactions that could be potentially fraudulent. All of this can help a company reduce the risk for fraud.
