The Business Intelligence and Analytics Content You Loved Most in 2019

Happy holidays everyone!

Way back in August, we launched our brand new Resource Hub. In the month’s following, we filled that Hub with so much great BI content it’d make your head spin! And rather than asking you to carve out time to scour the Hub – which, by the way, you definitely should do – I’ve rounded up the best of the best into one, succinct blog. There are some real gems in here you might have missed that we think are worth another look or two.

Now, the following list is by no means exhaustive. It is, however, reflective of the type of content we at Dundas strive to deliver. If you’re looking to develop your skills, boost your career and enhance your knowledge of Dundas BI, or are simply interested in the data visualization and analytics world, then you’ll love what we’ve curated.

Please enjoy our modest way of thanking you for reading and enjoying our content and of recognizing the great work our colleagues and peers have made happen. When you’re done, feel free to check out our previous best-of lists: 2018, 2017, 2016

PS – Don’t forget to bookmark our Resource Hub. We’re constantly adding new content, so whenever you need an article, tip, or thoughtful insight, you’ll find everything you need right there,
