Feedback from the FedEx Attendees
- I found it much more relevant than the DA-100 course.
- It seems like anyone taking this class would have some knowledge of loading flat files and yet we spent time and a lab doing just that.
- Couse covers data modeling… this was great because it allowed us to skip lower-level lessons because we had experience.
- Data modeling and data shaping are keys to people doing analytics and this is a major focus of the training.
- More data modeling and DAX than in the original DA-100 course.
- Demos can be adapted to FedEx Finance or any other FedEx group’s data sets (versus Sales data that is part of the standard offering).
- Material is very good and relevant to what I see other data analysis personnel in my org would need in order to improve their skillset.
- Of particular interest was row-level security, dataflows/datasets, and modeling.
- All of this enables more enterprise-level data layers and less smaller organizational.
- Basically, let really smart people build the data model and enable others to plug into it.
