Introduces the methodological frameworks and tool sets for the design, development, and implementation of data management solutions for business. Offers students an opportunity to work hands-on, applying these methods and tools to solve actual business problems. Almost no aspect of business operates without a strong reliance on the flow of data. Even small enterprises track huge volumes of data, from sales transactions and supply chain activities to website traffic. Knowledge workers and managers at all levels within the organization require an understanding of data management, database design and operations, and associated decision-support and data analysis tools and systems to complete even day-to-day tasks.
