A web developer needs to understand how websites and business applications are developed and pushed to the cloud. There are many aspects of web development. Front-end developers use their design skills to create efficient and good-looking sites, while backend developers focus on adding value to a business through application development. Data analytics is important because it helps businesses optimize their performance. Implementing it into the business model means companies can help reduce costs by identifying more efficient ways of doing business and by storing large amounts of data. A company can also use data analytics to make better business decisions and to help analyze customer trends and satisfaction, which can lead to new and better products and services. Students with any undergraduate degree can apply to pursue these MMIS certificates. Georgia College | 3 | November 2021
