While every client and every brand is inherently different, standardization and agreement is needed amongst analytics practitioners and software platforms, so data can be gathered and presented in a meaningful way. The last thing an analytics team wants is to just compile a library's worth of reports that no one can use. We are getting closer to effectively translating data points so clients can use them to make well informed marketing and budgetary decisions--we just need to continue sharing ideas within the analytics community about how to make this a reality.
