Introduction
Training course introducion / brief

The concept of big data has been around for years; most organizations now understand that if they capture all the data that streams into their businesses, they can apply analytics and get significant value from it. Big data analytics helps organizations harness their data and use it to identify new opportunities. That, in turn, leads to smarter business moves, more efficient operations, higher profits and happier customers.

This training course is designed to provide participants with the key concepts and knowledge of big data – the landscape, the technology behind it, business drivers, and strategic possibilities. “Big data” is a hot buzzword, but most organizations struggle to put it to practical use.
