Late reports, broken nightly loads, duplicate customers in the ERP and slow queries cost organisations time and trust every week. Most of these failures come from missing standards, weak monitoring and unmanaged change rather than from missing technology. Over ten days you learn to run data platforms as dependable operations that improve steadily.
The first week covers database administration discipline: indexing and query tuning in PostgreSQL and SQL Server, backup and recovery testing, capacity planning, security and change control. The second week moves to pipeline and ERP data operations, using Airflow style orchestration, incremental loads, idempotent jobs, data contracts, lineage, observability and incident management. You review SAP and Oracle style ERP data structures, master data governance, interface reconciliation and migration cleansing. Lean and ITIL ideas, service level objectives, runbooks, root cause analysis and cost control are applied throughout. Data engineers, database administrators, ERP analysts, BI developers, IT operations leads and data platform managers in banks, utilities, government and manufacturing will benefit. You complete an operations playbook and improvement plan, and receive a CPD-accredited certificate. Classroom, online and in-house formats run in multiple African cities.
As organisations depend on analytics, automation and integrated ERP systems, the data platform behind them becomes critical infrastructure. Executives want dashboards that refresh on time, finance wants reconciled ledgers and auditors want a trail from source to report. Delivering all of that consistently is an operational challenge as much as an engineering one.
The Operational Excellence in Data Engineering, Databases and ERP Data Training Course focuses on the practices that separate stable data operations from firefighting teams. Participants examine how to standardise environments, version and test changes, monitor health and set realistic service levels. Database topics include performance diagnosis, maintenance, high availability, recovery and access control. Pipeline topics include dependable scheduling, error handling, data quality checks and lineage.
A dedicated thread addresses ERP data, where poor master data, inconsistent codes and fragile interfaces undermine finance, procurement and inventory processes. The second half of the programme deepens these themes through advanced tuning, automation, cost optimisation and continuous improvement methods, culminating in an integrated project. Delivery is laboratory based, with participants working on shared practice environments and their own operational problems.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
