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.
