CIT 42200/ 3 Cr.
Business Intelligence (BI) has become vital in the way organizations store, analyze, and use their data. Leaders across all levels and departments are craving to have information at their fingertips that will allow them to make decisions more accurately and efficiently. This course will review the various applications and technologies used for collecting, storing, and analyzing information that allow for better decision making. Students will be guided through the BI life cycle of requirements gathering, project management (agile), ETL (extract, transform, load), data warehousing, application development, implementation, and product support. Students will take a hands-on approach using publicly available data sources to build their own BI platform to gain better insight into the various phases and complexities involved in analytic systems.
