Big Data Emerging Technologies

About the Course

Living and working in the age of big data requires new data-driven innovative ways to provide great value & great opportunity and surpass expectations. Advanced simulators with sophisticated human-machine interfaces are prevailing to solve old and new industry pain points and bottlenecks. Accordingly, improving the value extracted from the data collected is vital to drive new efficiencies and capabilities previously dismissed as impossible.

As businesses and governments shift paradigms towards higher levels of integration, intelligence, authenticity, and sustainability, effectively exploiting the power of emerging big data technologies becomes necessary. Big data emerging technologies are revolutionising the global business outlook, boosting operational excellence and overcoming challenges that once seemed insurmountable.

According to the World Bank, a study by the McKinsey Global Institute estimated that open data used in seven sectors of the economy could create $3 trillion to $5 trillion annually in economic value worldwide. For this reason, this training programme highlights the “Open Data Strategy” to provide high-value and reusable open data to increase transparency and foster innovation through collaboration.

This 5-day interactive Big Data Emerging Technologies training course showcases the beneficial applied use of big data emerging technologies. Additionally, it demonstrates flexibility and agility to adopt novel big data strategies, adapting to new industry needs and trends in a rapidly changing environment.
