Throughout the world, the demand for people with the skills and mindset for quality data analysis is still far ahead of its supply. In fact, a report by the McKinsey Global Institute claims that by 2018 the US alone is expected to have a shortfall of 140,000-190,000 people with critical analytical skills. Yet employees who have control over and the ability to analyze ever-growing sets of data are increasingly moving ahead, receiving higher pay in organizations around the globe. INSOFE is well aware of the trend, its program in Data Sciences/Big Data Analytics drawing students from a host of disciplines.
