13. A whole bunch of data (not analytics)!

14. Definitions for analytics: 1.The branch of logic dealing with analysis. 2. The field of data analysis. Analytics often involves studying past historical data to research potential trends, to analyze the effects of certain decisions or events, or to evaluate the performance of a given tool or scenario. The goal of analytics is to improve the business by gaining knowledge which can be used to make improvements or changes. 3. A simple definition of analytics is "the science of analysis". A practical definition, however, would be that analytics is the process of developing optimal or realistic decision recommendations based on insights derived through the application of statistical models and analysis against existing and/or simulated future data. Business managers may choose to make decisions based on past experiences or rules of thumb, or there might be other qualitative aspects to decision making; but unless there are data involved in the process, it would not be considered analytics. - http://www.thefreedictionary.com/analyticshttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/analytics - http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/analytics.htmlhttp://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/analytics.html - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analyticshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytics

15. Definitions for data: 1.Individual facts, statistics, or items of information. 1.Data are often viewed as the lowest level of abstraction from which information and then knowledge are derived. 1.Information in raw or unorganized form (such as alphabets, numbers, or symbols) that refer to, or represent, conditions, ideas, or objects. Data is limitless and present everywhere in the universe. - http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/data - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data - http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/data.html
