In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, data has become the lifeblood of organizations across all industries. From marketing and sales to product development and customer service, data-driven insights are essential for making informed decisions, identifying new opportunities, and gaining a competitive edge. However, raw data alone is of little value. It must be transformed into a usable format, integrated with other data sources, and made accessible to the right people at the right time and this is when you turn to the data engineers in your organization.

Data engineers play a crucial role in building and maintaining the robust and scalable data infrastructure that supports an organization's data-driven initiatives. They are responsible for designing, developing, and implementing data pipelines, data warehouses, and data lakes. They ensure the quality, security, and availability of data, and they work closely with data scientists, analysts, and business users to meet their data needs. With so many companies poised to take advantage of AI in software development and related roles, it has been assumed that the traditional role of the data engineer has lost importance. Nothing is further from the truth - the skills that built the warehouses and lakes are still very much a necessity if AI innovation is to provide value to your organization.

This webinar is for those considering data engineering role or interest in developing their role. However the webinar is recommended also for everyone else, as understanding the fundamentals of data science is essential for most other roles in organizations.
