Description (3 Units)

Does your company know the what, where and when of its product purchases? While the increased capacity and availability of data gathering and storage systems have allowed enterprises to store more information than ever before, most organizations still lack the ability to effectively consolidate, arrange and analyze this vast amount of data. Two solutions will be explored in this course, Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence (BI) Systems. With data warehousing, you will learn how to physically frame multiple sources of data in an architecture that supports the many decision-making processes and business intelligence systems of an enterprise. With business intelligence, you’ll learn how to explore data and analyze it to derive insights that can effect positive change within the enterprise.
