Data analysis: Data analysis is the process of inspecting, cleaning, transforming, and modeling data to discover meaningful patterns, insights, and trends. It involves applying statistical and analytical techniques to uncover hidden information and make informed decisions. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's ability to analyze data using appropriate methods and tools, which is crucial for extracting valuable insights from large datasets.
Business analytics: Business analytics refers to the practice of using data, statistical models, and quantitative analysis to understand business performance, identify opportunities, and make data-driven decisions. It involves analyzing historical and real-time data to gain insights into business operations, market trends, customer behavior, and more. This skill is measured in the test to evaluate the candidate's knowledge and skills in applying business analytics techniques to support strategic planning and decision-making.
Data visualization: Data visualization is the representation of data in graphical or visual forms, such as charts, graphs, and maps, to facilitate understanding and communication. It helps users identify patterns, trends, and relationships in data more easily. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's ability to create visually appealing and informative data visualizations using appropriate tools and techniques.
Reporting: Reporting involves the creation and delivery of structured, summarized information about business operations, performance, and outcomes. It typically involves generating reports based on predefined templates or user-defined queries and presenting the results in a clear and concise manner. This skill is measured in the test to evaluate the candidate's proficiency in generating accurate and informative reports that effectively communicate key information to stakeholders.
Dashboards: Dashboards are visual displays of key performance indicators (KPIs) and other relevant metrics that provide real-time insights into business performance. They enable users to monitor and track performance at a glance and quickly identify areas of concern or improvement. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's ability to design and develop intuitive and interactive dashboards for effective data monitoring and decision-making.
Real-time data monitoring: Real-time data monitoring involves continuously tracking and analyzing data as it is generated or updated, enabling organizations to respond quickly to changing conditions and take immediate actions. It often involves the use of real-time data sources and technologies to capture, process, and analyze data in real-time. This skill is measured in the test to evaluate the candidate's understanding of real-time data monitoring concepts and their ability to utilize relevant tools and techniques for effective real-time data analysis.
Data integration: Data integration is the process of combining data from different sources and formats into a unified view, often in a data warehouse or data lake. It involves extracting, transforming, and loading (ETL) data from various systems, applying data quality checks, and ensuring data consistency and integrity. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's knowledge and skills in integrating heterogeneous data sources and ensuring data quality and reliability for analysis and reporting purposes.
Performance monitoring: Performance monitoring involves tracking and measuring the performance of systems, processes, and applications to ensure they meet predefined targets and performance benchmarks. It typically involves collecting and analyzing performance metrics, identifying performance bottlenecks or issues, and taking corrective actions. This skill is measured in the test to evaluate the candidate's ability to monitor and optimize the performance of Oracle BAM and related systems for efficient and effective data processing and analysis.
Alerts and notifications: Alerts and notifications are automated messages or notifications triggered by predefined events or conditions to inform users or stakeholders about important updates or changes. They can be configured to deliver real-time alerts via email, SMS, or other communication channels. This skill is measured in the test to assess the candidate's understanding of alerts and notifications concepts and their ability to configure and manage alert mechanisms in Oracle BAM for timely and proactive decision-making.
