In a fast growing world of big data, businesses need to transform themselves to embrace challenges. In the past decade, not only did the volume of traditional structured data increase with unexpected velocity, but also the volume of other unstructured data exploded. Data extract, transformation, loading and storage with good velocity, quality and safety is a must for the business sustainable growth. Meanwhile, smart use of such data, data insights and data visualization can generate competitive advantage, improve customer experience, identify risk, and much more. A combination of fundamental theory and practical skill-building is needed to close the gap between academia and the demand of industry.
