Synopsis

Data analytics opens an objective pathway for organizations to achieve quality decision-making for business improvement. This is because data analysis and data mining reveal hidden patterns and relationships among data. Unlike structured data, most data today is unstructured (big data). Organizations today grapple with a variety of big data like video, audio and discussion threads. The challenge is to convert big data into traditional forms so that existing data analytics tools can be used to analyse them. The course will also discuss big data challenges.
