Foundations for Creators
ANI_208d | On-Demand | Automation and Insights | 2
Course Duration: 2 hours
Telecom networks are continuing to transform in fundamental ways - cloud platforms are enabling networks to be run as software-based functions. This enables the management of these networks to become software centric and thus require the use of scripting and software-oriented approaches to automate tasks performed on these networks. Industries are starting to leverage feature-rich tools that analyze massive, varied data sets to complete tasks more productively and effectively. This foundation level self-paced course provides foundational concepts of data and Tableau with a Creator license. The student takes an assessment to show grasp of concepts and readiness for the Intermediate workshop.
