Information professionals often perform basic data analytics, scrutinizing what has happened in the past, as part of the decision-making process and to optimize operation efficiencies, among other reasons.
In this session, attendees will obtain a general overview of the different types of data analytics and the circumstances in which each can be utilized. They will also gain an understanding of the forms of data analysis that law firms are/should be implementing, and the benefits of doing so. Attendees are encouraged to share their experiences. What internal analytics is your employer implementing? What legal data are you being asked to track down and what data analytics resources do you subscribe to?
