Description
Business intelligence (BI) is a set of theories, methodologies, processes, architectures, and technologies that transform raw data into meaningful and useful information. BI can handle large amounts of information to help identify and develop new opportunities. Making use of new opportunities and implementing an effective strategy can provide a competitive market advantage and long-term stability.
BI technologies provide historical, current and predictive views of business operations. Common functions of business intelligence technologies are reporting, online analytical processing, analytics, data mining, process mining, complex event processing, business performance management, benchmarking, text mining and predictive analytics.
In information technology, big data is a collection of data sets so large and complex that it becomes difficult to process using on-hand database management tools or traditional data processing applications. The challenges include capture, curation, storage, search, sharing, analysis and visualization.
With advances in Business Intelligence (BI) tools, organizations large and small can benefit from analyzing data allowing sound business decisions that go beyond simple feelings and anecdotes. According to Gartner Research, Big Data is becoming an engine of job creation as businesses discover ways to turn data into revenue, says Gartner. By 2015, it is expected to create 4.4 million IT jobs globally, of which 1.9 million will be in the U.S. Applying an economic multiplier to those jobs, Gartner expects that each big data IT job added to the economy will create employment for three more people outside the tech industry in the U.S., adding six million jobs to the economy.
The Business Intelligence, Big Data and Web Analytics 2013 Web Educator Series takes place at a number of select locations throughout the U.S. The goal of the summer series week long workshops is to help facilitate teacher access to cutting edge training and teaching materials. The summer workshop series helps teachers stay current by engaging them in projects designed to showcase skills that are in the highest demand by those that employ Web professionals.
In this four and a half day hands-on workshop specifically designed for the community college educator and those that teach Web professional topics, we’ll cut through the jargon and clutter to explore the business and technology trends, current tool sets, processes and real-world case studies for how Big Data and BI resources are evolving and improving services for the practitioner and those that they serve. Course participants will also learn how to apply analytic techniques and tools to process and analyze Big Data.
There has been a lot of talk about Business Intelligence, Big Data and Web Analytics, but not a lot of education and training on the “HOW-TO” do Business Intelligence, Big Data and Web Analytics. HOW-TO implement it, analyze it, and educate the workforce to enable them to use it to take actionable steps that affect business.
Specifically you will learn/receive:
The Business Intelligence, Big Data and Web Analytics 2013 Web Educator Series will be providing hands-on lab exercises for each topic presented. Based on what we cover, faculty should be able to create their own introductory course on BI.

Day 5 Education Track
There will be a shortage of talent necessary for organizations to take advantage of big data. By 2018, the United States alone could face a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 people with deep analytical skills as well as 1.5 million managers and analysts with the know-how to use the analysis of big data to make effective decisions.
Several issues will have to be addressed to capture the full potential of big data. Policies related to privacy, security, intellectual property, and even liability will need to be addressed in a big data world. Organizations need not only to put the right talent and technology in place but also structure workflows and incentives to optimize the use of big data. Access to data is critical—companies will increasingly need to integrate information from multiple data sources, often from third parties, and the incentives have to be in place to enable this.
