Now that we had some fun, you'll probably want to find out more about big data analytics, for example: why is big data analytics important? Or perhaps you're more interested in exploring hot topics in analytics like: data mining or machine learning.

      Now you will have to ponder what if any hidden meaning there is between business colleagues vs colleagues and/or vendors 🙂

  1. So you will be singing this at our SAS Christmas Party? Good luck finding some back-up singers.
