Analytiikkadata

Analytiikkadata refers to datasets and data assets that are collected, processed, and organized for the purpose of performing analytics. It encompasses both raw sources and the cleaned, structured forms used in analyses, reporting, and decision making across organizations.

Sources include transactional systems, log files, event streams, telemetry from sensors, customer interactions, and external data such as market feeds. Analytiikkadata can be structured (tables and records), semi-structured (JSON, XML), or unstructured (text, images, video) and is stored in databases, data warehouses, or data lakes.

Typical processing steps cover data ingestion, cleaning, transformation, integration, and modeling, followed by analysis, visualization, and dissemination. The data may be cataloged with metadata and lineage to track its origin and transformations, enabling reproducibility and governance.

Common uses include business intelligence, customer analytics, operational analytics, product and performance analytics, and research. Analytiikkadata supports KPI monitoring, predictive modelling, segmentation, trend detection, and decision support.

Quality and governance are central: accuracy, completeness, timeliness, consistency, and traceability affect trust and outcomes. Privacy and compliance considerations—such as GDPR, consent, anonymization, and data minimization—shape how analytics data may be collected, stored, and shared.

Organizations pursue data architectures such as data warehouses, data lakes, or lakehouses, coupled with data catalogs and governance roles to manage data assets. Interoperability, standard formats, and clear data ontologies improve analysis quality and collaboration.
