Data is a core business asset, and the need to manage it efficiently and use it effectively has assumed paramount

key element of business productivity and growth. This course introduces market-leading techniques for

key data from business processes. It provides the essential tools required for further data mining applications. It

combines lecture, class discussion and hands-on computer work in a business-oriented environment.

OPIM 5894: Enterprise Information Security and Auditing

Most companies handle their financial, operational, HR and other data in electronic form, and this data is the

architecture, can be used to your advantage as a competitive tool. Given growing compliance requirements,
