One-Day Course

Compared to transactional systems, a data warehouse focuses primarily on the collection, validation, and analysis of data. When developing a DW application, it is important that the designers and implementers ensure data requirements and characteristics are identified, assessed, and tested. This is accomplished by following a data requirements analysis (DRA) process.

This course reviews the tasks performed during the DRA process, which will help ensure the identification, suitability, and quality of data to meet business needs and provide framework for testing, validation, and ongoing production monitoring of data.
