CIS 609 - Data Visualization

This course provides the students an opportunity to perform analyses and create dashboards in business intelligence applications. Emphasis is placed on knowing the needs and expectations of internal and external stakeholders, identifying proper metrics, and the best approach to display them for different end users. Dashboards will be built for implementation on both desktops as well as tablet devices using Tableau. Students will identify key performance indicators (KPIs) and how they may be effectively used across different levels of the organization to achieve business optimization. Finally, students will be introduced to the concept and application of balanced scorecards in business settings.
Prerequisite(s): CIS 605 is normally taken before this course; however, the Program Director may make an exception.
