There is always a little room left to learn more. The survey released by US Bureau of Economic Analysis proves the same. There is a clear indication on how Big Data professionals aren’t proficient in both Data and non-Data analytics tools and roles.
With 57% of total strength knowing very well how to handle Data analytics roles. And the other 43% being proficient in non-Data analytics tool.
With SQL clearly winning the popularity contest in Data handling roles, and gaining 42% of ‘YES’ in number of people proficient in this tool, 29% were expert in non-Data analytics functions in the same technology framework.
Next in line was the statistical computing software R, with 33% users being proficient in Data management using this application and 10% being in non-Data roles.
Python and Excel ranked neck-to-neck, with approximately one fourth of all users using them for Data analysis and between 11-15% using them for other functions. It may be noted that python is one of the fastest growing languages among Big Data developers for its ease of use.
