Big Data and Data Analytics
Big Data and Data Analytics
Big Data and Data Analytics is a change agent that challenges how organizational leaders have traditionally made decisions.
Across all lines of business, sharp and timely data insights are needed to keep an organization competitive in this digital era.
Used effectively, Big Data and Data Analytics provide accurate business models and forecasts to support better decision-making across all facets of an organization.
This course provides participants with the data literacy they need to remain efficient, effective, and ahead of the curve.
Participants will learn why, where and how to generate business value by deploying analytical methodologies.
This course goes beyond the hype of what Big Data is, and will set the foundation for your journey to advanced decision-making and business benefits by giving you the tools to leverage Big Data.
In the current era, modern organization managers or specialists are expected to decipher insights from an organization-wide IT system and be able to provide precise analysis and recommendations for senior managers/executives.
To do this effectively means parsing through tonnes of data to recognize and analyze patterns using the best tools for the job. This course will enable you to use cutting-edge techniques to identify trends and explore what those trends mean in turn for your organization.
This hands-on interactive learning experience will provide you with a rich toolset for data analysis to help you make better decisions and recommendations, thus building your capability and confidence in using Big Data analysis as part of your job role.
Participants will gain the knowledge and skills they need to assemble and manage a large-scale big data analytics project. Lastly, participants will get a conceptual introduction to the sophisticated predictive algorithms that are used in data science.
