What is the Cloud-First MDM course about?

As organizations demand real-time data readiness, architects with deep ETL and MDM expertise face a growing gap: the skills that got them here won’t scale in a cloud-native world. The pressure to deliver clean, governed data faster, without sacrificing control, is intensifying. Yet most training assumes either total beginner status or pure theory, leaving experienced leads stranded between legacy mastery and cloud.
