How companies can start using data for better decision-making, for research, manufacturing or customer engagement.

Wyoming help Life & Chemical Science organisations integrate, visualise and analyse data to generate improved business outcomes, for example improved yield, reduced waste or increased sales. In this webinar we’ll discuss steps to help companies, large and small, start using data for better decision-making, whether it be for research, manufacturing or customer engagement.

Topics include:

• An introduction to big data

• Maximising usable data

• Getting started with dashboards

• Dashboards best practice

• Predictive Analytics

This webinar is aimed at both large and small research, biotech and manufacturing companies looking to improve their data management practices to make better business decisions. Our practical tips and hints will be useful for data novices, but we’ll also cover the art of the possible when it comes to advanced data analytics for those companies with more mature requirements. Participants will take away practical steps and approaches to start instilling better data management in their organisation.
