Description

The use of data in management decision making is essential for organisations of all sizes to be able to uncover and respond to opportunities and threats. The fields of business intelligence and analytics (including data mining) have consistently been top investment priorities, and with the new capacities of self-serve, visualisations and cloud-based (web-based) technologies, organisations are becoming even more information rich.

The course explores how professionals can use information systems and business intelligence to conduct an analysis of business operations and performance for enhanced decision making. Be introduced to concepts, processes and technologies in business intelligence and business analytics, and learn to use selected analytics, to interpret solutions for business-related problems and provide relevant business advice.

This is a great course for those who have not had experience with business intelligence, and who don’t come from a technical background.

UniSA Online’s 10-week short courses give you the flexibility to upskill in a certain area, stay current with developments in your field, diversify your knowledge, or even explore a new direction in your career – without having to commit to the time and cost of a full university degree.
