Learn the Fundamentals of Data and Why It’s Critical in Business
On its own, cloud technology provides only a fraction of its true value to a business. But when combined with data—lots and lots of data—businesses can realize value and create new experiences for customers.
In this module, you learn about the ways that companies have used it in decision-making, and why data is critical for machine learning. You also explore technical concepts such as structured and unstructured data, database, data warehouse, and data lakes.
