In this course, students will learn about the major components in architecting an enterprise data system by actually designing a staging area, operational data store, and data warehouse. Students will learn the importance of creating business requirements and data artifacts that define the data in a “Single Version of Truth.” From ingesting data into a staging database, moving the data to the operational data store where data is transformed, to ultimately accessing the data warehouse. Students will learn how the data warehouse helps eliminate data silos and bring data from across the enterprise into one central system, which can be governed and accessible by anyone in the enterprise to understand and analyze intelligent insights to address business challenges and opportunities.
