Solutions to Data Preparation Challenges

SAS co-founder and Executive Vice President John Sall recognizes that data analysts spend much of their time preparing the data – at least, the good analysts do. As the creator of JMP® software, he has long respected this fact. Sall discusses his team’s work to make data preparation easier, faster and more reliable. He touches on the challenges of data cleanup, analyzing wide data sets, and staying focused on the problem at hand without leaving the analytic workflow.
