Enhancing your data team with ours
Our consultants come armed with both technical and soft skills to support you to make the most of your data.
The Data School has been paramount to our success at JLL. It has allowed us to bring in highly skilled Tableau and Alteryx consultants. It saves considerable time trying to recruit contractors as I know their skills and training are to the highest standard. Over the past 5 years my team has developed analytical insights which have generated multi million dollar savings of which a considerable amount can be attributed to the Data School consultants we have had working on projects.

What Are Batch Macros?
If you're familiar with coding, you can think of batch macros as like a 'for loop'. If not, that's fine too. You feed a batch macro values one at a time, it completes a given series of operations and returns an output after each run

Apps in Alteryx
Alteryx is a very useful tool in the world of data preparation however a big hurdle involved in data prep is sharing your solutions. Alteryx workflows are very useful, however they are stuck on one analyst's desktop. Users don't want to have to build a flow every time they need a specific output
