Modern data warehousing and business intelligence

This one-day course offers a conceptual overview of the data warehouse.

All the characteristics and possibilities of data warehousing are treated: definitions, myth and reality, key concepts, implementation and exploitation strategies.

What does datamining mean and what are the possibilities now? Several types of products can be of use (cleaning, loading, extraction, ...). An architecture is essential, so some time will be spent on that.

Uitstekende cursus, biedt een mooi overzicht van de gevestigde strategieën en trends in dit snel-veranderende domein. De docent is zeer gedreven, en weet een globaal verhaal te brengen, met toch voldoende nuance.
