This is the second course in the Data Warehousing for Business Intelligence specialization. Ideally, the courses should be taken in sequence. In this course, you will learn exciting concepts and skills for designing data warehouses and creating data integration workflows. These are fundamental skills for data warehouse developers and administrators. You will have hands–on experience for data warehouse design and use open source products for manipulating pivot tables and creating data integration workflows.You will also gain conceptual background about maturity models, architectures, multidimensional models, and management practices, providing an organizational perspective about data warehouse development. If you are currently a business or information technology professional and want to become a data warehouse designer or administrator, this course will give you the knowledge and skills to do that. By the end of the course, you will have the design experience, software background, and organizational context that prepares you to succeed with data warehouse development projects. In this course, you will create data warehouse designs and data integration workflows that satisfy the business intelligence needs of organizations. When you’re done with this course, you’ll be able to: * Evaluate an organization for data warehouse maturity and business architecture alignment; * Create a data warehouse …

Some of the tutorials need to be revisited, but the overall lessons are fantastic.
Rochelle H –
No guidance from instructors, and the assignments have nothing to do with the lectures. If I could get a refund, I would quit and get my money back. Not worth the frustration.
Jahanzaib M –
It helped me a lot in understanding data warehouse and data integration concepts
Remon R S R –
Its a great course
Guilherme E M –
Very good course. The specalizations is givem a good foudantion for me
Dragana S –
Really short lessons, and usually half of lesson is spent on introduction and talking about what will be in the lesson. Nevertheless, course is focused on theory, rather than the practice. I think it should be more detailed and with more practical assignments.

The torture of having to identify which of the many combinations of Pentaho, Java and some freeware plugin actually works in the end has completely ruined this experience. I don’t care if SOMEWHERE in the notes there is info I should install Version 5.0.2.3 instead of 5.0.whatever, this is just plain laziness in the course design by picking software which might have worked in the past and then not updating the instructions while pocketing the student’s money for years to come. I have about had it with spending my nights installing and re installing this junk of software nobody uses anyways in a real business setting only to advance in this class.

It’s a good course but it could improve the explanations provided in giving more detail and examples. Give deeper examples!!
Thomas L –
totally unsufficient guidance on external tools needed. Forum is full of users asking for help and reporting problems with installation of neccessary software.
sujay b s –
Pentaho does not work, hence I was not able to complete week 2 assignment and the course.
Andy O –
Some good parts on data integration but the key sections on DW design and in particular the assignment are really poorly written.
Paolo F –
High quality info for a well structured course
Daniel X –
Too academic, maybe normal for a University course. But really not a practical course for someone wanting to pick up the knowledge or skills. even though BI is a big concept. The tools are not very popular in the market, either highly enterprised Oracle or free tools. Really, those tools are good for doing a few excercise or playing some BI games.
Matheus Z –
Great course, includes data warehousing practices using Pentaho DI Studio.
Nakul M –
course is very fast paced with necessary definitions & concepts along with hands on practical assignments.
Maximilian M –
excellent course. the professor coveys core concepts to the point.
Dietrich B –
In module 5 the assignment was not able to pass without looking for further assistance in the web. The knowledge of handling Pentaho integration tool was not good enough explained to pass the assignment. Some steps were really tricky.
Nelson F A –
A very good course. It is challenging, especially the assignment in week 3, but extremely rewarding. Thanks to Coursera and the University of Colorado for creating this course. Really good to get an understanding of enterprise level data warehouses.
Francisco I S R –

This Course has given new life to me

I just re reviewed the 1 week and will re review it within the day, prior to taking the exam. overall the presentor is very capable and has mastery of the subject which is very very good. I love this course and i hope I could have this re reviewed once I get to have the paid subscription.

The course is very informative, but you have to work with a very slow website for an assignment and you need to install applications which are a lot of hassle and will cost you a lot of time. I still cannot get an application to work to finish the last assignment. Too bad for all the effort I put in so far and very frustrating.
Mugdha G –
Good course!
Talha T –
The course could be less detailed. Besides open source ETL tools, other big players (e.g. Informatica, SAP DI, etc.) should be mentioned as well.
Nasheena –
Excellent course, you will learn how to use data warehouse tools, you will gain design experience and have organisational context to work in data warehouse development projects. My experience from this course is you need to be quite dedicated to pass.
Revanth K –
Great Hands on experience!!
Soren V –
Great course 🙂
Mayank M –
very good course, after the course u will have a good understanding and grasp of data warehousing concept
Jake S –
Some very difficult exercises and the instruction was sometimes too abstract, but overall I feel I learned a lot.
Danish A –
Very Well Explained and Guided Course. Pivot4j and web pivot tables have undergone some changes so an update might be required.
Gargi D –
Concepts get clear easily. Good course.
Benjamin S –
Good stuff. Not necessarily a beginner course…configuration of the required software packages requires some work and knowledge, but Mr. Mannino does the best job possible of explaining how that should work in most cases. Installing an Oracle SQL server on the local machine is tricky to get right, but the VirtualBox “Developer Day” package is easier, though requires a little work in Linux…so, I would say no problem for beginners if there is some background in development or multi OS support. Otherwise, prepare to spend some extra time learning. Was well worth it for me!
Alexander K –
I feel like the courses were shot in 1999.
Esteban R –
good material but should update some videos since program versions have changed.
PaweB W –
Course is really good and one of its kind, however, there is too much focus on specific tools. In some assignments familiarity with Pentaho is more important than the skills required to solve the problem. As for me I was unable to install Pentaho and had to look for alternatives. Let the course be more problem centric and ease the focus on using Pentaho as it is not an optimal tool for many.

i would give it a 5 star but again the software used in this course/specialization is just ridiculously demanding task. However, concepts in this course are very interesting and I think I learned a lot. Be aware that there is no support from anybody besides peers who most of the times care only about passing.
Friso S –
Content wise a very good and useful course. But the technical support on the installation and use of the software needed to complete the course is very limited, and the manuals are not up to date, as they refer to older versions of the proposed software. Particularly the Pentaho Data Integration software was a severe test for my peace of mind.
PUNEETH M K –
It’s a nice opportunity to learn and

Disgracefully outdated course that does not match with the technology that it claims to use dont bother with this one
Md A M –
one of the best spcecialization course so far for me.
VASILEIOS M –
Excellent course!! Thank you!!
Claudio V –
Good course, good explanations. The assignments were good and instructive, but too many with respect to the length of the course.
Andre G L –
A great starting course for the subject of Data Warehouse, I was already practicing on the career and it was valuable to me to strenghten my core and learn new things along the way.
