Data consulting firm

A consulting firm can also be called a consulting company. The objective of a consulting firm is to enable a company to solve a specific problem. This problem may be operational or strategic. Thus, the consulting firm must perform an analysis and provide recommendations. Moreover, the role of a consulting firm is to support its clients by offering a service adapted to their needs.

A data consulting firm will help its clients solve data-related problems. We will introduce you to what data is and what we can do for you.

What is data?

Data is the representation of what is known – or accepted as such – and which serves as a starting point for reasoning or analysis. Examples of data: 13.8 kilometers, Dupont, 37 degrees Celsius, New-York, red…

Since the advent of computers, we speak of digital data because they are stored in the form of 0 and 1.

Finally, we distinguish between information and data: information is the meaning of one or more data in a certain context.

Thus, they design and implement the collection, databases, storage and processing that provide access to data that can be used by the company’s various applications.

Data analysis

Data analysis follows the collection and preparation of data toextract value. In order to carry out this analysis, three generations of analysis are distinguished.
