“Those who have no programming or scripting background will benefit a lot from this workshop. It will help the users without IT experience to read and understand data even though the user has no background in programming or scripting. It is a workshop that tells the users is layman terms on converting the technical data into data that non-IT personnel may use”, he added.

The software is applicable to end users who work with data or analysis and for users who need to find results quickly and efficiently without going through too many hands. This will reduce the time spent on a single task and increase efficiency in all departments, especially those directly linked to data that needs to be processed.
