Business analytics tool for creating modern data visualisations.

Recommended by our Digital Champions:
I am using this business analytics technology for my decision theory module. It’s main benefit for me is that if you are a student you can avail of a free license. Essentially, you are getting a subscription to a powerful organisational data visualisation tool that is used the world over by SME and large corporations. It can be used by students with no previous data analytics experience and contains a repository of very useful tutorials. Having this expertise on a CV is very advantageous and highly sought after by recruiters.
