Become a Data Warehouse Consultant

INTRODUCTION

The demand for experts of Business Intelligence (BI), Machine Learning and Big Data, have risen significantly in the last five years. In this context, there are two job roles, whose importance have grown too:

• ✓ Data Warehouse Architect
• ✓ Data Warehouse Consultant

Data warehouse architects (DWA) construct information systems that make a company’s data easily available for analysis. After examining a company’s possible data sources (internal and external), DWA design a plan to integrate, centralize, protect and maintain them. This allows analysts and BI specialists to access critical information in the right place, at the right time. This analysis is critical for timely decisions. In short, Data architects do not analyze data. Instead, they make it available to others.

Several Business Intelligence tools help answer these questions by providing data driven insights. The warehouse adds its value behind the scenes. Its job is to provide data to the high-profile BI tools and applications with which users interact.

Professionals often start as a Database Administrator (DBAs) and or entry-level programmers. With experience, they gain more understanding how data is stored.
