Course Overview
Data has value. For companies and organizations, data is the lifeblood for operation. The data is used in processing required to yield information, make decisions, conduct business, and produce results. Data also has value when further analysis yields immediate, important actions to take and for longer term strategic decisions.
We are now entering into a period where Artificial Intelligence is dominating the discussion for everything from online activity to advances in research to pervasive questioning of truthful information. AI is driven by data from disparate sources. And, a very large amount of information. This has made the stewardship of data even more critical.
We are also faced with an increasing number and an increasingly complex series of attacks, with most demanding a ransom to restore data or avoid disclosing information. The security and cyber resilience requirements for managing information continue to increase and change as attacks adapt to protections put in place.
Storing, managing, and accessing information is the most critical purpose for information technology professionals and technologists who deliver those capabilities. This importance has created a discipline for information storage and management. The discipline continues to see technology advances and changes in demands resulting in a continuous learning curve for practitioners.
This year’s course will cover:
- The strategies and directions for managing information and the technologies used
- How the technologies are delivered as solutions by vendors, and how to understand these solutions and make informed decisions
- The methods to approach an economic analysis when choosing a solution
