5 Steps to a Bulletproof Data Prep Strategy

Effective data preparation is crucial for successful business analysis. The complexity and volume of data sources can make this challenging. This white paper presents a 5-step strategy for a robust data prep approach:

1. Data Blending - Combine data from multiple sources into one dataset.
2. Data Exploration - Analyze data to find insights and anomalies.
3. Data Cleansing - Enhance data quality by removing errors and duplicates.
4. Data Profiling - Examine data structure and relationships for suitability.
5. Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) - Standardize data for analysis.

Automating these tasks accelerates insights and unlocks data value. Discover how Alteryx can help build a strong data prep strategy.
