What is Data Preparation and Why is it Important?

Data is only valuable if you can use it -- which is where data preparation comes in. Data preparation, or data prep, is the process of combining, structuring, and organizing data so it can be used for business intelligence, analytics, and visualization applications. Data prep is a critical component in generating business value from data -- and usually the most complex and time-consuming one.
