Preparing Data for Business Intelligence

Course

Description

Before making data-driven decisions, organizations need to make sure their data is clean and as up-to-date as possible. This course helps you become the person teams rely on to polish data before it reaches anyone who needs it. You’ll discover how data pipelines work and how to use them to produce data that’s clean, structured, and ready for analysis. You’ll also learn about data modeling, ETL pipelines, the different data ecosystems, and how to integrate AI into the mix to establish a workflow that’s faster and more reliable.

Following a recent review, Intro to Big Data Business Cases has been updated and renamed Preparing Data for Business Intelligence. For more information, contact us at cce@concordia.ca.
