What is the Enterprise-Class Data Modernization Programs course about?

Legacy data pipelines lack the transparency and traceability required for modern governance. Audit teams spend more time chasing data lineage than delivering assurance, and point solutions only deepen fragmentation. Without a unified modernization approach, trust in reporting erodes.
