Simplilearn

It has always been my goal to help people and companies understand the importance of data and help them utilize it for business growth. One of the things that I have realized during my intensive engagement with companies over the years is the increasing requirement for quality courses in Big Data and Analytics for upskilling individuals and workforce.
 
To help professionals and companies meet the need of the industry, I have joined Simplilearn as an Advisory board member for Big Data and analytics and will be acting as a Course advisor. Simplilearn is at the top of the field when it comes to providing professional certification training. Their Big Data and Analytics courses are very practical and hands-on, with a lot of projects and case studies. They also provide integrated CloudLabs for a hassle-free experience. 
 
They work with companies and individuals alike and help them meet the skilling and up-skilling needs whether it's for business growth or for career advancement. 

Today, the business world is rapidly changing. Understanding the Digital is not merely a luxury; it's a necessity. To thrive today, businesses need to understand data science and how Big Data can affect the success of their company. It can be difficult to train your team on these technologies without proper guidance, and this is where Simplilearn can help your company. 

For individuals, as the requirement for data scientists and analysts is rapidly growing, learning these key skill sets and becoming certified through Simplilearn can boost their career.
