Data Analytics

In a fast-growing world of big data, businesses need to transform themselves to embrace challenges. In the past decade, not only did the volume of traditional structured data increase with unexpected velocity, but also the volume of other unstructured data exploded.

Data extraction, transformation, loading, and storage with good velocity, quality, and safety are a must for sustainable business growth. Meanwhile, smart use of such data, data insights, and data visualization can generate competitive advantage, improve customer experience, identify risks, and much more. A combination of fundamental theory and practical skill-building is needed to close the gap between academia and the demands of industry.
