Chennai: NIIT, leading Global Talent Development
Corporation and Asia’s largest IT trainer announced the launch of a
comprehensive and unique – “Program in Business Analytics” to develop the next
generation of data scientists and business analytics professionals.
As the need for analyzing huge volumes of data presents
immense opportunity for businesses today, there has been a growing demand for
analytics professionals across various sectors. To cater to this emerging
trend, apart from some of the leading business schools, NIIT is the first to
introduce a cutting-edge program in Business Analytics.
Given the large amounts of new data created every single
minute, analytics skills are no longer just an extension of the IT professional,
they are becoming increasingly important for businesses. Business Analytics is
emerging as an industry in its own right.
According to a study by IDC, it is estimated that global
enterprises will invest Rs 12000 Crores (US$120 Billion) by 2015 to capture the
business impact of analytics across hardware, software and services. The study
also estimates a five-year compounded growth of 16 per cent for the Indian
analytics market. NASSCOM has also estimated that from fifty thousand today,
the demand for Analytics professionals in India will grow to 2.5 lakh by 2015.
In today’s
business environment analytics plays an ever increasing role in various
contexts, as it is estimated that about 1300 exabytes of information exists in
the world of which 90% is unstructured and only 2% is non-digital. Perceiving
the need for skilled analytics professionals in almost every industry vertical,
NIIT has launched the ‘Program in Business Analytics.’ The six months program
has been developed by industry experts with inputs from several leading
analytics companies and offers a fine balance between concepts and hands-on
practice.
