I spent probably an hour making the bestest quadruple variable bubble graph (x, y, z being bubble size, and zz being color corresponding to categorical data) out of our huge dataset today, but I don’t think anyone wants to use it :/ I don’t care, because I got to play in Excel all morning anyway (at least one of my pivot graphs is usable).

Just had therapy for the first time in… 3 weeks? Vented about dust and s. Remind me next time to tell her about all of the memories I physically uncovered while packing up our old place.

Our floors are ok. Incrementally cleaner. I’m not 100% satisfied. I hate the texture of them.

The word has finally filtered out: Gut-level decision making doesn’t cut it anymore. In fact making “judgment calls” without proper supporting data can be a dangerous gamble in today’s ultracompetitive marketplace. That’s why lots of midsized companies that used to rely on past experience and Excel spreadsheets are searching out business intelligence (BI) solutions. BI is designed to help these companies make smarter, faster, data-driven business decisions. See TEC’s BI solution guide.

But the question arises, Who at these firms is going to handle the BI software and technical aspects of modern data analysis? The company Data Geek, of course. If you don’t have one, get in line. Data Geek is now the fastest-growing job category in BI. You’ll need to find someone with a computer science background, statistics and math skills, experience in data visualization — and, perhaps most importantly, creative flair. Because your Geek will have to create new and imaginative ways to turn your data into actionable intelligence — to boost the payback on your sizable BI investment.

What will you get for your money? Hopefully, an individual who enjoys cleansing, profiling and transforming information — and someone who can keep up with the lightning pace of change in the BI space.

The bottom line is simple: To get the most from your BI application, you need an experienced Geek.
