Why Learn It?

Purpose Historical data is often used by businesses to find trends that can point the way to more efficient ways of doing business. Modeling time in a business allows such data to be captured. Reports provide information that can be derived from the data. A well-designed report can provide valuable information that the business can use to improve its operations.
