<p>Technological advances in the last five years have allowed organizations to use Business Analytics to provide insights, increase understanding and it is hoped, gain the elusive &#39;competitive edge&#39;. The rapid development of Business Analytics is impacting all enterprise competences profoundly and classical business professions are being redefined by a much deeper interplay between business and information systems.</p><p>As computing capabilities for analysis has moved outside the IT glass-house and into the sphere of individual workers, they are no longer the exclusive domain of IT professionals but rather accessible to all employees. Complex open-source data analytics packages and client-level visualization tools deployed in desktops and laptops equip virtually any end-user with the instruments to carry out significant analytical tasks. All the while, the drive to improve &#39;customer experience&#39; has heightened the demand for data involving customers, providers and entire ecosystems.</p><p>In response to the proliferation of Business Analytics, a new Center and Masters of Science Program was introduced at the National University of Singapore (NUS). The Center collaborates with over 40 different external partner organizations in Asia-Pacific with which all MSBA students undertake individual projects. <em>Business Analytics: Progress on Applications in Asia Pacific</em> provides a useful picture of the maturity of the Business Analytics domain in Asia Pacific.</p><p>For more information about the Business Analytics Center at NUS, visit the website at: http://msba.nus.edu/</p>
