This will be done both manual and automatic (where possible).
2. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) – generic process in which data is acquired using the techniques described above, then CHANGED and PROCESSED and is finally LOADED into a data structure/warehouse or other files such as EXCEL, CSV, etc.

Using these new acquired skills, you will be able to perform different types of analytics on the data, such as descriptive, diagnostic, predictive or prescriptive ones.
