Students are introduced to data sources, informatics, data models, data management and data ownership; all key components to the data-driven organization. They analyze the common practices, prioritization approaches, system workload and security challenges for systems that support high data volumes and analytics. Students assess the individual, legal and society impacts of collecting data, including social media data. They also assess the historic problems with data collection and data management and how the current tools are used to address these problems.
