Introduction

 Hello everyone, my name is Matthew Phetdara and this is my final semester of the MIS/ Cybersecurity program at the U of A. I studied MIS at the U of A for my undergraduate degree, and I currently work for Deloitte as a solutions consultant. 

I am interested to learn more about big data and how it is applied in business use cases, but more specifically, I'd like to learn about how big data is applied in cybersecurity scenarios. My experience and knowledge regarding big data is still superficial, but I hope to learn more about big data concepts and applications over the next few weeks. Looking forward to learning with you all!

    Hi Matthew!
    It's nice to meet you. My name is Elyssa. This is also my final semester in the online MS MIS program! I work as a web developer at the UofA.

    Have a wonderful semester!

Additionally, they help to understand complex systems and their behavior, which can be very beneficial for organizations to understand their business practices and...

MIS 587 - Blog 2

 Module 1 of MIS 587 covered topics in big data, data warehouse design, balanced scorecards, star schemas, dimensional modeling, and dashboarding design for business intelligence.  The Balanced Scorecard The balanced scorecard is a powerful tool organizations can use to measure performance with KPIs (key performance indicators), particularly in 4 areas: Financial, Customer, Internal Business Processes, and Learning and Growth. The balance scorecard seeks to answer different questions in these categories, links organizational goals to the overall strategy, and also maps goals relevant to those KPIs and metrics.  Dashboarding Design for Data Analysis A dashboard is a visual interface, usual using graphics to represent data. It can be a very helpful tool in informing businesses and presenting information analysis. They typically are quantitative measures of performance, such as how well an organization is performing in the market, or information such as sales over time, unit...
