Executive Data Engineering, Databases & ERP Data Training Course in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Classroom training in Dar es Salaam · next cohort Oct 26, 2026 · from USD 4,000
Executives approve data platforms, ERP upgrades and analytics budgets, yet often depend on technical teams to explain why reports differ, migrations slip and costs climb. Ten days give senior leaders enough depth to ask sharp questions and make sound decisions. The first week covers relational and NoSQL databases, SQL for managers, data modelling, normalisation, ETL and ELT pipelines, data warehouses and lakes, cloud platforms and batch versus streaming designs. The second week turns to ERP data: master and transactional data in SAP, Oracle or Odoo style systems, chart of accounts and item structures, migration and cleansing, integration through APIs, reporting layers, security, controls and the cost model of running it all.
The programme is designed for chief information and finance officers, heads of ICT, digital transformation directors, ERP programme sponsors, senior managers of analytics and operations, and public sector executives. It is offered in classroom format in 18 cities, online, or in-house for a leadership team, and finishes with a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can review a target architecture, challenge vendor proposals, define data ownership for ERP processes and sequence a funded roadmap with measurable outcomes.

About this course
Every report an executive reads depends on a chain of systems: transactions captured in an ERP or line-of-business application, data moved through pipelines, stored in warehouses and presented in dashboards. When the chain is weak, the symptoms are familiar: conflicting figures, slow month-end close, failed integrations and analytics projects that cannot find usable data. Leaders who understand the engineering behind the symptoms steer investment far better than those who delegate entirely.
This executive programme is technical enough to be credible but never requires coding skill. Participants begin with how databases work and how to design data models that reflect the business. They then study pipelines, quality controls, orchestration, warehouses, lakehouses and cloud services, and learn how to evaluate build-or-buy choices and total cost. The second half concentrates on ERP data: master data governance, migration and cleansing, integration patterns, extraction for reporting, access control and audit trails. Final sessions address team structure, vendor management, delivery governance and benefits tracking.
The format is a mix of guided demonstrations, small hands-on exercises in SQL and spreadsheets, and decision workshops. Each participant finishes with an architecture review checklist, a data ownership map and a prioritised investment roadmap.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Explain how relational, NoSQL and analytical databases differ and when each suits a business need.
- Read entity-relationship diagrams and challenge data models that do not fit business processes.
- Describe ETL and ELT pipelines, orchestration and data quality checks in plain terms.
- Compare data warehouse, data lake and lakehouse architectures on cost, flexibility and risk.
- Identify the master and transactional data that underpin ERP finance, procurement, inventory and HR processes.
- Plan data migration, cleansing and cut-over for an ERP implementation or upgrade.
- Evaluate integration, security and reporting options for ERP data.
- Build a business case and governance structure for a data engineering programme.
