Why join the ION Analytics Data Team?

“ Data is the new oil

Ann Winblad 2012 ”
“ Data is just like crude. It’s valuable, but if
unrefined it cannot really be used. It has to be
changed into gas, plastic, chemicals, etc., to
create a valuable entity that drives profitable
activity; so must data be broken down, analyzed
for it to have value.

Michael Palmer 2006 ”
