Big Data for Decision Makers


BD4DM - Version:1
Description
This course is intended for decision makers, technical managers and team leaders, who are interested to learn how to design big data solutions. This course will introduce concepts, use-cases and leading products that are used to design a scalable solution for big data in the modern data landscape. This course will introduce the different components a big data solution is comprised of, using pre-defined use cases as an example on how to plan a solution, from start to finish.
