Data and Technology in depth [DATE]

OVERVIEW

Data is an important tool in the control of our processes and organisations. To do this effectively and efficiently, we use all kinds of approaches and software tools. This training course familiarises you with the most important concepts so that you can place things in the right context.

OBJECTIVES

• Analysis on the basis of supply structured data (e.g. Data Lake)
• Analysis on the basis of demand-structured data (e.g. Star Schemas)
• Decoupling point between supply and demand data structures for flexibility (e.g. Data Vault)

AUDIENCE

All employees within an organisation who want to become familiar with the core concepts of collecting and structuring data for analysis. This is not an expert training course, but aimed at anyone who comes into contact with data processing and analysis environments.
