Description
Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence for Managers prepares you for the many data warehousing projects that are underway or scheduled to begin in large or small organizations. It's also an entryway into Big Data. If you've heard of data warehousing but never knew what it meant, this is the course for you. Have you always wanted to know what kind of enterprise software is made by Oracle, SAP, Informatica, Tableau, SAS, and even Microsoft? The answer is Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence software, two categories of software that can even include one thing you probably have on your latptop right now: Microsoft Excel.
The course is geared towards managers, but is also effective for non-techies or novices who want to understand one of the most important approaches to managing operations that organizations undertake, and that affects your life and your interaction with technology every day. The course is a series of video presentations, but also includes quizzes, a final project, and PDF downloads that will help familiarize you with data warehousing.
Recent additions to this course include a greater exploration of Big Data, Data Lakes, and a little about cloud Big Data architecture. The course will continue to grow to explore more about the crossover and intersections between Data Warehousing, Business Intelligence, and Big Data (aka Analytics).
This course is quick to complete, giving you an overview of what you need most without going too deep for Data Warehousing novices. If you want a solid introduction to Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence, sign up for this course today!

Instructors
The BI Crowd helps you make your data actionable so that you can focus on using the insights gained from that data to grow your business.
Samori Augusto, the founder of The BI Crowd, LLC, is a certified PMP and PMI-ACP who has worked for almost two decades in Data Analytics. He has managed SLDC and Agile projects in Data Warehousing and Web application development for federal agencies and small businesses. Before Data Warehousing, Samori worked as a developer of desktop applications and large-scale client/server applications for consulting projects in the Telecom and Mortgaging industries. Along the way he's experimented with entrepreneurship in the dotcom bubble and microentrepreneurship working remotely. The best way to trick Samori into doing something is if it involves music, writing, or data and small businesses. Update on the cats: the kittens are now two angry, suspicious, and bitter cats, especially if someone says, "I'll just clip that one nail. Just one! Come back here!" (And yes, Samori does enjoy the occasional British TV show.)
