Data Modelling Training

Introduction

Through Big Data, the importance of data and data quality has been widely accepted. More and more individuals now need to play an active role within the data management function. Understanding the data structures within an organisation is key to successful information and data management. This understanding is reached by modelling the various data structures using the industry standard notations. Data structures have expanded over the years from relational operational databases to dimensional analytical cubes. This course addresses both these areas.

Course Description

The course runs over three days and includes a number of exercises that will help to consolidate the learning in a practical way. The delegate will gain a good understanding of data modelling as well as the ability to apply it. The course also looks at Big Data concepts and how Big Data projects differs from Small Data projects. NoSQL, Hadoop, data lakes, Data Science, and the impact of Big Data on both business and consumers are addressed.
