46-884 Modern Data Management

6 units, Carnegie Mellon University

Data drives modern business. Transactional data systems keep the world's economy operating smoothly by tracking and processing the movement of bits, dollars, atoms, and attention across the planet. Analytic systems help managers understand and optimize their businesses. Robotic systems (both physical machines and software bots) automate a tremendous amount of the work historically done by people. More recently, data has become the foundation for modern artificial intelligence systems. Large-scale machine learning and generative AI models depend on access to massive volumes of high-quality, well-organized data. These models, in turn, are now being deployed across nearly every industry to automate processes, enhance decision-making, generate content, and personalize customer experiences. As a result, the ability to manage and work with data effectively is more important than ever. You will learn to use a set of data management tools tocapture, manage, analyze, and leverage data to do business better, faster, and smarter.
