Case Study: Essex Property Trust achieves up to 24X productivity gains with DataCamp for Business

Essex Property Trust Experiences 24X Productivity Gains with Data Upskilling

Essex Property Trust, a US-based real-estate investment trust focused on West Coast multifamily properties, faced fragmented analyst workflows and heavy manual Excel work as data became central to operations. To standardize data operations and upskill staff from beginner to advanced, they adopted DataCamp for Business, using interactive courses, custom tracks, and learning reporting to scale training across teams.

By embedding DataCamp into their Analytics Academy, Essex Property Trust trained analysts on Python, Power BI, and best coding practices, breaking down silos and automating routine tasks. DataCamp’s approach delivered measurable impact — some analysts achieved up to 24X productivity gains (for example reducing a monthly three‑day task to one hour), reduced errors, faster reporting, and more time for higher‑value analysis.
