Course Description

Gartner, IBM, Accenture and many others have asserted that 80% or more of the world’s information is unstructured – and inherently hard to analyze. What does that mean? And what is required to extract insight from unstructured data? Unstructured data is infinitely variable in quality and format, because it is produced by humans who can be fastidious, unpredictable, ill-informed, or even cynical, but always unique, not standard in any way. Recent advances in natural language processing provides the notion that unstructured content can be included in data analysis. Serious growth and value companies are committed to data. The exponential growth of Big Data has posed major challenges in data governance and data analysis. Good data governance is pivotal for business growth. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to slice and dice Big Data that addresses data governance and data analysis issues. In order to support high quality business decision making, it is important to fully harness the potential of Big Data by implementing proper Data Migration, Data Ingestion, Data Management, Data Analysis, Data Visualization and Data Virtualization tools.
