What is the Architecting Unified Data Platforms course about?

Even with advanced tools, teams stall when data remains siloed, inconsistently modeled, or operationally misaligned. Visibility gaps persist not from lack of access, but from lack of architectural coherence. The result: delayed decisions, duplicated effort, and eroded stakeholder trust in data outputs.
