Big data involves working with datasets that are so large, complex and varied that they exceed the capacity of traditional systems to store, process and analyse them. Big data represents an opportunity for organisations that wish to extract value and information from these datasets, and transform them into knowledge and solutions. In this course on Big data: Unlocking the power of data, you’ll learn the concepts, the tools, the applications and the big data trends. You will learn how to store and manage data in a database, how to integrate and export data using Power BI and Excel, how to explore and visualise data using Power BI, how to understand the relationship between the Internet of Things (IoT) and big data, and how big data is used in journalism.
