About the Course

Kickstart your Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence (BI) Analytics journey with this self-paced course. You will learn how to design, deploy, load, manage, and query data warehouses and data marts. You will also work with BI tools to analyze data in these repositories. You will begin this course by understanding different kinds of analytics repositories including data marts, data warehouses, data lakes, data lakehouses, and data reservoirs, and their functions and uses. They are designed to enable rapid business decision making through accurate and flexible reporting and data analysis. A data warehouse is one of the most fundamental business intelligence tools in use today, and one that successful Data Engineers must understand. In this course, you will learn to design, model and implement data warehouses and explore data-warehousing architectures such as Star and Snowflake schemas. You will also learn how to populate data warehouses using ETL and ELT processes, verify data, query data and how to use Cubes, Rollups, and materialized views/tables. You will become familiar with different BI tools used by experts in the industry such as IBM Cognos Analytics, Tableau, and Microsoft PowerBI. You will also use a BI tool to create data visualizations and build interactive dashboards to gain insights from data. The hands-on labs in this course will enable you to apply what you learn and gain a practical knowledge of Data Warehousing and BI Analytics. You will work with repositories like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and IBM Db2. You will also use BI tools like Cognos Analytics. At the end of this course, you will complete a project to demonstrate the skills you acquired in each module....

Good course, theory and hands-on alligned! In special, operations in cubes, such as: rollup, drill down, drill up, pivot and others. Thanks!

peer review assignment instructions are causing confusion as other people have commented. There is no correct answer provided for grading for the cognos questions. Some python libraries are failed to be installed in the provided environment but yet no instructions were provided to address those (as others also commented).

This course does not deliver. The content itself is good, but it was delayed and the labs were broken. Things were not even tested before they were published. If Skills Network Labs is buggy, then at least provide us a way to practice locally. After several great MOOCs on Coursera, I finally found the one that it is disappointing.

The videos are not engaging. Some aspects are explained in great detail and with good illustrations, other import parts are quickly glossed over and assumed to be familiar. I would only recommend this course if you've been working in IT for a while.

The worst course in IBM Data Engineering path.

While I am thankful to dive into the syntax and UI of mongodb, cassandra, and cloudant, and that hands-on does provide some value, this course needs an overhaul. The final project is a test of patience. The instructions have typos. There are over 200 threads of frustrated students trying to make their way to the end of the project due to the previously mentioned mistakes in the instructions and unanticipated issues a student may encounter. This could be so much better and I see it as an injustice that this course is great on the outside but rotten on the inside. I suspect dishonesty.

buggy, buggy, buggy. please to yourself a favor and don't take any IBM Data Engineering Course - it's not worth it

practical knowledge as per real time project is more important that is not provided here

This is a good course and introduces useful practical skills. However, I get the feeling that the effort put on the third week is less than the usual standard in the IBM Data Engineering Certification: the lab material needs to be updated and the quiz questions should rely moref in the practical experience in the labs.

Great course. It gives a core knowledge of DB Warehousing as well as it describes what are facts and dimensions. Gives some practice creating it from scratch. Knowledge of SQL is quite essential to complete the final assignment.

Practice labs will help as everything is described. Cognos Analytics part is very short but there is the standalone course with more comprehensive practice.

Every course in this professional certification program designed such way that to get hands on real time project experience. The courses are well explained and labs were designed to get hands on experience. I congratulate and wish the team who designed this program and content. Thank you so much all and thanks coursera for this opportunity.
