Course schedule

1
Purpose and principles of CIS

  • Governance organization: teams - processes - data.
  • Developments in Business Intelligence. How should data be managed? Pure or hybrid data mesh model, or data lake and/or data warehouse, depending on strategic choices.
  • New challenges: information enhancement, rapid correlation.
  • Strategic architecture choices: which platform for which need?
  • A new balance between pre-modeling and real-time dynamic analysis.

2
SID design process, impact of discovery mode

  • The universal typology of requests on an SID around management and predictive analysis.
  • Master the design process for data marts and data labs.
  • How to optimize BI discovery and data science services.
  • Model consistency. In-memory analysis versus star model. Data lab model.
  • NoSQL denormalization versus classical decision denormalization.
  • The difference between multidimensional and predictive analysis.
  • Avoid the proliferation of aggregates and indicators by reusing developments or data products
  • Designing a high-performance BI-discovery-data science architecture
Case study
Propose a design approach based on analysis needs.

3
Building reference systems

  • Building the company's reference framework. Analytical dimensions and shareable indicators.
  • Build an architecture covering all stages, from piloting to behavior analysis.
  • Build dictionaries for the SID, use metadata to manage consistency.
Case study
Deployment of the proposed methods on examples.

4
Optimize data access

  • Data organization: concepts common to all types of modeling.
  • Recommendations for understanding data mesh modeling.
  • Data mesh: mapping domains to internal organization or use cases.
  • Multidimensional, ROLAP, MOLAP, hybrid, in-memory: criteria for choice.
  • Organizing your data lake. Building data labs at different data product levels.
  • Apply decisional normalization to your star models.

5
Measuring the SID value

  • Make your CIS a lever for corporate strategy.
  • Gathering use cases into decision-making processes.
  • SID urbanization: avoid over-processing and overloaded semantic layers.
  • Identify areas eligible for cloud computing.
  • Mapping its SID to link purpose of use and data used for RGPD.
  • Define the criteria for an effective CIS.
  • Manage the value of data. Organize data governance.

6
Big data in industrial mode

  • Main types of use cases.
  • The problem of industrializing big data projects.
  • Checklist of recommendations.
  • Analytics - real-time predictive and streaming (CEP: complex event processing).

7
State-of-the-art decision-making tools

  • Link or merge your data lake and data warehouse to create the Data Factory.
  • Overview of business intelligence suites: SAS, Microsoft, SAP BusinessObjects...
  • Degree of integration of discovery mode, analytics and data visualization.
  • ETL- ELT. Multidimensional tools. Web deployment.
  • Big data integrated with SID. NoSQL databases. NewSQL databases. Cohabitation between different databases.
  • In-memory analysis. Cloud, appliance or commodity hardware.
  • Advantages and disadvantages of different data platform architectures.
  • Switching the SID to a NoSQL or NewSQL database or integrating the approaches?
  • Combine an agile data discovery solution with business intelligence (BI) industrialization capabilities.
Case study
Determine your evolution path towards an integrated architecture.

8
Opportunity and value creation for the company

  • Evaluate the added value for the company and the usefulness of change management.
  • Manage and prioritize your project portfolio. Subdivision criteria.
  • Specificities of a BI project and a Big Data project.
  • Business intelligence needs analysis techniques: pitfalls to avoid.
  • How do you assess the complexity and maturity of your needs?
  • Leading the transition from existing business intelligence systems to a data mesh organization.

9
Governance organization: teams - processes - data

  • Different players and respective roles. New relationship between business and IT.
  • Special case of data mesh, recommendations for successful organization.
  • Position business intelligence within the company. Organize governance, consistency and overall data quality.
  • Create a coherent, multidisciplinary organization.
  • Preserve user autonomy. Manage responsiveness.
  • Integrating business units into value management: data and use cases.
  • Organize the Data Factory. Administer SID components.
  • Guarantee data quality and veracity management.
  • Define minimum quality controls. Define control phasing.
  • Impact of RGPD regulations on data access security.
  • Impact of AI-ACT on the administration of AI models.

Very comprehensive and well-paced training. The time allocated to each chapter is very well balanced, with the exception of the first, which I found a little long.

Pascal is passionate about his work and knows it inside out. His feedback from real-life situations is much appreciated. Some chapters are very / too dense. The presentation and diagrams on the slides could do with a refresh. More exercises would be good.
