COURSE SUMMARY
Data Management is a foundational discipline that focuses on the effective collection, storage, organization, protection, processing, and use of data to support decision-making, operational efficiency, and strategic goals within organizations. In the modern digital economy, data is regarded as a critical asset, and its proper management determines the reliability, security, accessibility, and value derived from information systems.
This course provides comprehensive knowledge and practical skills required to manage data throughout its lifecycle—from creation and acquisition to storage, usage, sharing, archiving, and eventual disposal. Learners are introduced to core concepts such as data types, data quality, database systems, data governance, security, privacy, backup and recovery, and emerging trends such as big data and cloud-based data management.
The course emphasizes both theoretical understanding and practical application, enabling learners to design, implement, and maintain effective data management systems in organizational, academic, and governmental contexts. By the end of the course, learners will be able to apply best practices to ensure data accuracy, integrity, availability, confidentiality, and compliance with legal and ethical standards.
