Modernizing a legacy data warehouse is more than a technical upgrade, it's a coordination challenge across systems, stakeholders, and strategies.

The situation this course is for

Established enterprises face mounting pressure to modernize aging data infrastructure. The challenge isn't just technology, it's aligning governance, managing technical debt, securing executive buy-in, and delivering measurable value without disrupting core operations. Most transformation efforts stall due to unclear roadmaps, siloed ownership, or underestimating organizational complexity.

Who this is for

Business and technology professionals in established organizations leading or contributing to data strategy, digital transformation, IT modernization, or enterprise architecture initiatives.

Who this is not for

This course is not for individuals seeking introductory data concepts, vendors selling tooling, or those focused solely on greenfield cloud projects without legacy system constraints.

What you walk away with

  • Develop a board-ready modernization roadmap aligned with enterprise goals
  • Apply proven frameworks to assess legacy systems and prioritize modernization paths
  • Design governance models that scale across hybrid and cloud environments
  • Lead cross-functional teams through technical and organizational change
  • Implement measurable value streams from modernization efforts
