Featured Topics
While TDWI conferences always cover the full spectrum of business intelligence and data warehousing, the conference in Las Vegas will also include courses throughout the week that broaden your knowledge, skill, and ability in the following areas:
Master Data Management (MDM) and Data Governance
Complex business environments, increasing demand for high-quality data, and critical dependencies of regulatory compliance are among the reasons that MDM captures the attention of IT and business people alike. Your MDM strategy can achieve the sought-after results if the initiative is under the umbrella of a true data governance program. Data governance encompasses enterprise management of availability, usability, integrity, and security of data. This conference offers courses on best practices to get your data governance and MDM programs underway.
BI Essentials
Strengthen your understanding of business intelligence (BI) and data warehousing (DW). These courses are designed to take you from basic BI/DW concepts and principles to expanded essentials such as data modeling and metrics. New and returning students will find that these courses provide the building blocks that are the keys to understanding the rest of this dynamic field of information technology.
Requirements Gathering for Business Intelligence
Understanding requirements and the best practices to gather requirements for your business intelligence program is one of the most critical components to the overall success of your project. This conference offers three days of focused courses on BI requirements gathering as well as a course on requirements gathering for data quality.
Business Analytics
Optimize business performance with the right analytics for your audience. In the field of business intelligence, understanding how people perceive and process information is a must. This conference delivers a series of courses on analytics, dashboards, visualization, metrics, and predictive analytics. Bring this knowledge back to your organization and make analytics work for your organization.
Data Management
Data is the cornerstone of a business intelligence system and the management of it can be very complex. Learn how to model, improve quality, integrate, store, and govern this most precious asset.
Data Modeling
Data that is organized and optimally stored in the warehouse needs thoughtful design to fulfill business needs. Business analysts taking these courses will be better prepared to work with their technical counterparts, and developers taking these courses will be able to ask the right questions to determine how to design and implement the best data structures. This conference offers an in-depth look at dimensional modeling.
