The Power of Data Studio

• Scale your insights - build shareable dashboards saved in Google Drive

• Speed up time to insight - build reports and visualisations to answer questions within minutes

• User friendly Templates and Layouts - will make it easier for users to interpret the data.

Data Studio is a new Data Visualisation Tool created by Google. It is part of the Google Suite including Google Docs, Google Sheets and Google Slides.

Data Studio is FREE and allows you to connect to a range of data sources.

It's an incredible tool to create powerful and interactive dashboards for you to explore your underlying data.

I look forward to showing you how powerful Data Studio is for speeding up time to insight.
