Course Overview

The rise in data volumes is often an untapped opportunity for organizations. Despite the increase in volume of data, over 65% of organizations globally are struggling to extract value from their data. The ability to harness the power of big data and analytics requires a deep rooted conceptual understanding to generate actionable insights.

Big data is often a poorly understood and ill-defined term, often ascribed to the volume alone, while the veracity, variety, velocity and value are often forgotten. This online workshop looks at the fundamentals of Big Data. Taking a step-back and building a foundation which can leveraged across the business.
