Yahoo Data Solutions Updates DS.INSIGHT Basic
LINE Yahoo Corporation has taken a significant step forward in making data analysis more accessible with the recent update to its consumer analysis tool, DS.INSIGHT Basic. As of November 13, 2023, the tool provides enhanced user interface (UI) features and support functionalities for businesses seeking to harness the power of big data derived from various LINE Yahoo services. This upgrade aims to cater specifically to the feedback from users who have often perceived data analysis as unnecessarily complex.

This is possible thanks to a range of new support features designed to streamline the analytical journey.
