Project Work:
Towards the end of the Course, you will be working on a live project where you will be using Retail & Banking Dataset to perform various data analytics.

Project #1: Creation of Sales Data Warehouse & Data Marts.
Industry: Retail
Problem Statement: Creation Sales Data Mart
Project #3: Transaction Analysis for Retail Analytics
Industry: Retail
Data: Real Time Retail Analytics Dashboard Project.
Problem Statement: Building Real Time Retail Analytics Dashboard using Qlikview.

Data Warehouse: 
A data warehouse is a database, which is kept separate from the organization’s operational database.
There is no frequent updating done in a data warehouse.
It possesses consolidated historical data, which helps the organization to analyze its business.
A data warehouse helps executives to organize, understand, and use their data to take strategic decisions.
Data warehouse systems help in the integration of diversity of application systems.
A data warehouse system helps in consolidated historical data analysis

Data Mart: 
A data mart is the access layer of the data warehouse environment that is used to get data out to the users. The data mart is a subset of the data warehouse that is usually oriented to a specific business line or team. Data marts are small slices of the data warehouse.

Data visualization:
Data visualization is the presentation of data in a pictorial or graphical format. It enables decision makers to see analytics presented visually, so they can grasp difficult concepts or identify new patterns.

QlikView :
QlikView is a leading Business Discovery Platform. It is unique in many ways as compared to the traditional BI platforms. As a data analysis tool it always maintains the relationship between the data and this relationship can be seen visually using colors. Even it also shows which data are not related! It provides both direct and indirect searches by using individual searches on the list boxes.
QlikView’s core and patented technology has the feature of in memory data processing which gives superfast result to the users. It calculates aggregations on the fly and compresses data to 10% of original size. Neither users nor developers of QlikView applications manage the relationship between data. It is managed automatically.

Features of QlikView :
QlikView has patented technology which enables it to have many features that are useful in creating advanced reports from multiple data sources quickly. Below is a list of features which makes QlikView very unique.
Data Association is maintained automatically – QlikView automatically recognizes the relationship between each piece of data that is present in a dataset. Users need not preconfigure the relationship between different data entities.
Data is held in memory for multiple users, for a super-fast user experience – The structure, data and calculations of a report are all held in the memory (RAM) of the server.
Aggregations are calculated on the fly as needed – As the data is held in memory, calculations are done on the fly. No need of storing pre-calculated aggregate values.
Data is compressed to 10% of its original size – QlikView heavily uses data dictionary and only essential bits of data in memory required for any analysis. Hence it compresses the original data to a very small size.
Visual relationship using colors – The relationship between data is not shown by arrow or lines but by colors. Selecting a piece of data gives specific colors to the related data and another color to unrelated data
Direct and Indirect searches – Instead of giving the direct value a user is looking for, they can input some related data and get the exact result because of the data association. Of course they can also search for a value directly.
