Data Warehousing 101: how do you get started?
So you think you want a data warehouse? Whether you’ve got 1 data source or 20, the reasons for creating a data warehouse are many and well-known enabling a wide range of operational and strategic benefits. But where do you start?
Join Marc from Cortex for a live primer on how to get going on the journey. He’ll talk through the core principles of data warehousing whilst giving a live demo of Bragi, their bespoke warehouse automation tool.
From a standing start, you'll ‘ETL and more’ - acquire data from multiple sources, load, archive and transform it, stand up a data model that can be used immediately for generating real insights, and schedule it to run.
You’ll learn about the importance of backwards and forwards data traceability and how Bragi shows you the full lineage of every piece of data in your data warehouse, highlighting dependencies in your models and how this can be used to respond to requirements such as data extracts, audits and even GDPR.
By the end of the session, you’ll have the info you need to start getting more from your data.
