Description
This introductory level course provides an overview of the activities, processes, and products of building a data warehouse. From business architecture to databases and access tools, the course examines the deliverables of data warehousing programs and discusses the resources and skills needed to produce them. While much of data warehousing effort is expended in development projects, this course broadens the perspective from project to program and examines architecture and operations deliverables as well as those of development projects. The course emphasizes common language, concepts, and understanding that are necessary to enable effective teamwork and achieve data warehousing success.
