Business Intelligence (BI) seems an inescapable phenomenon for each organisation. In 2015 BI has been marked as one of the 4 cornerstones in IT. Besides, Data Warehouse (DW) is a default component for many organisations in their BI-solution. In this clearly established course we focus on the concepts around BI and DW.
