Data investments often stall because platforms are chosen before strategy is clear. ERP systems hold the most valuable transactions in the business, yet finance, supply chain and HR still reconcile spreadsheets by hand, and analytics teams wait weeks for extracts. A deliberate data engineering strategy links architecture choices to measurable business outcomes and keeps innovation from creating more silos.
Over ten days you build that strategy and the skills behind it. Early sessions cover data strategy, operating models, architecture patterns, relational and NoSQL database design, modelling, SQL optimisation and master data. Middle sessions cover ETL and ELT pipelines, orchestration with Airflow, dbt, Spark, change data capture and Kafka streaming, plus ERP data extraction from SAP, Oracle and Dynamics. Later days cover lakehouse and warehouse design, data quality, lineage, governance, cloud cost control and innovation methods, finishing with an integrated platform project. Data engineers, database administrators, ERP and BI leads, data architects, IT managers and heads of data in banks, telecoms, manufacturing and government will benefit. Classroom, online and in-house formats are available, with a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can present a costed data roadmap and run pilots that deliver trusted data to decision makers.
Every organisation wants faster, more trusted information, but the path from transactional systems to dependable insight is crowded with technical choices. Warehouses, lakes, streaming tools and vendor-specific ERP reporting layers overlap, and without a clear strategy teams build duplicate pipelines, argue about definitions and carry growing platform costs. Leaders need both the vision to prioritise and the engineering fluency to judge what is feasible.
This advanced programme joins strategic planning with applied engineering. In the first half, participants examine data strategy and operating models, then work through database design, query performance, data modelling for analytics and the structure of ERP data in common platforms. The second half moves to modern practices: building and orchestrating batch and streaming pipelines, designing lakehouse and warehouse layers, applying quality tests and lineage, and setting governance that supports self-service without losing control. Innovation sessions show how to scope pilots, evaluate new technologies, treat datasets as products and track value.
Participants spend much of each day in labs with sample ERP, operational and event data. They compare architecture options, build working pipelines, and develop a strategy document with roadmap, team structure and business case that they can put before senior management on return.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
