ERP systems hold the most valuable records in an organisation, yet getting that data into forms that finance, operations and analytics teams can trust remains slow, brittle and expensive. Strategic data engineering closes this gap by treating data movement, modelling and quality as an engineered product.
Over ten days, participants work through relational design and advanced SQL, change data capture, batch and streaming pipelines, orchestration, dimensional modelling, data warehouse and lakehouse architecture, and extraction from ERP platforms such as SAP, Oracle and Dynamics. Later sessions cover transformation with dbt, data quality testing, metadata and lineage, security, cost management, performance tuning and operating a platform in production. Labs use PostgreSQL, Python, Airflow and cloud storage, and conclude with a capstone that connects a sample ERP extract to a governed reporting layer. The programme is intended for data engineers, database administrators, ERP analysts, BI developers, solution architects and IT managers who plan data strategy. Classroom, online and in-house delivery are offered, together with a CPD-accredited certificate. You return able to propose a target architecture and build its core pipelines.
Organisations run on transactional systems, but decisions depend on data that is integrated, timely and consistent. Finance wants reconciled ledgers, supply chain wants inventory visibility and leadership wants dashboards without waiting for a month-end extract. Delivering this requires more than tools; it requires an architecture, engineering practices and clear data ownership between ERP, database and analytics teams.
The Strategic Data Engineering, Databases & ERP Data Training Course develops that capability across ten days. The first half builds foundations: relational and dimensional modelling, advanced SQL, indexing and query tuning, data integration patterns, change data capture and ETL versus ELT design, together with an introduction to ERP data structures such as master data, transaction tables and organisational hierarchies. The second half moves to platform design and operations: warehouse and lakehouse architecture, orchestration, transformation frameworks, quality testing, lineage, security, cost control, monitoring and incident handling.
Training is laboratory-driven. Delegates write code, build and schedule pipelines, model an ERP extract and debug realistic failures. A capstone project consolidates the work into a documented reference architecture, supported by a strategy brief for stakeholders explaining priorities, risks and the resources required.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
