My Journey from WFM & MIS to Aspiring Data Analyst

By Arun Kumar Singh | Founder – Digital Infovision

“Every Excel sheet I created in WFM was a puzzle—and I always wanted to dig deeper.”

For over a decade, I worked in the Workforce Management (WFM) and Management Information Systems (MIS) field, managing large volumes of data, optimizing schedules, and supporting operational decisions in the call center industry.

I loved working with data—but I always knew there was more I could do. I wanted to shift from just reporting numbers to truly analyzing them. That’s where my journey into Data Analytics began.


🧩 From Reporting to Understanding Data

In my WFM role, I built dashboards, automated reports using VBA Macros, and helped leadership understand performance metrics. But the tools were limited—and often, I felt we were answering “what happened?”, but not “why it happened?”.

That curiosity drove me to explore Python, SQL, and Power BI.


🎓 My Learning Path

In 2024, I took a big step. I enrolled in a Data Analytics certification program (from Pw Skills) to formalize my skills in:

  • Python for data analysis
  • SQL for querying databases
  • Power BI for creating interactive dashboards
  • And other tools like NumPy, Pandas, and Jupyter Notebooks

Every project I built brought me closer to my goal.


💡 Why Data Analytics?

Here’s why I chose to pivot to this field:

  • It’s future-proof – demand is growing across industries.
  • It lets me do problem-solving, not just reporting.
  • It’s a natural extension of my WFM/MIS experience.
  • I can help businesses make smarter decisions.

If you’re from a reporting, operations, or customer service background like mine, data analytics is not out of reach. You already work with data—you just need to learn how to look at it differently.


🚀 Why I Started Digital Infovision

As I learned, I realized there were hundreds of others like me—skilled in operations, Excel, or reporting—but unsure how to break into analytics.

That’s why I created Digital Infovision.

Here, I’ll share:

  • Step-by-step tutorials
  • Beginner-friendly projects
  • Career guidance for freshers and career changers
  • Templates, guides, and tools to help you grow

My mission is to simplify data analytics for every learner—especially those from non-technical backgrounds.


📌 What’s Next?

Over the coming weeks, I’ll post:

  • Tutorials on Excel, Power BI, SQL, Python
  • Real project breakdowns with GitHub links
