Data and Information Management

This course provides an introduction to the core concepts in data and information management. It is centered around the core skills of identifying organizational information requirements, modeling them using conceptual data modeling techniques, converting the conceptual data models into normalized relational data, and implementing a relational database using an enterprise database management system. The course will include coverage of database administration, data quality, security, data warehouse, and business intelligence. In addition, the course helps the students understand how large-scale packaged systems are highly dependent on the use of DBMSs. Taking MIS 3050 prior to this course is strongly recommended.
