Lobster Academy: Data Hero Scout

About This Course.

Our learning path Data Hero Scout is for all those who want more—more orchestration, deeper insights and improved administration and configuration knowledge. It strives to take your data integration skills to the next level! Once you’ve successfully completed the Data Hero Starter course, you’re ready to advance to the next level: Data Hero Scout.

This course is delivered by an experienced trainer and consultant—either remotely (4 sessions of 5 hours via Microsoft Teams) or on-site (3 days at Lobster HQ on the beautiful shores of Lake Starnberg).

Please note: All Lobster Academy eLearnings are designed with a practical-thinking approach. To learn and understand our software, you will need to follow the detailed instructions as you would in a workshop or real class. These will lead you step-by-step to a deeper understanding of the Lobster Data Platform. To do so, you will need access to a Lobster Data Platform system. As an existing customer, you will have access to a system. You can also go through one of our partners if you have an existing relationship. If neither of these options is available to you, please check in with our sales team.

Description.

The Lobster Data Platform offers countless possibilities for data integration. But for comprehensive mastery, you’ll also need a solid understanding of data orchestration. Step by step, an experienced trainer will guide you through the data jungle.

By the end of this course, you’ll have refreshed and expanded your theoretical knowledge through a series of practical exercises. You’ll clearly see why integration and orchestration fit together perfectly, just like gears in a well-oiled machine.

The Data Hero Scout takes you ever deeper into the worlds of integration and orchestration. Equipped with foundational knowledge from Data Hero Starter, you’re now ready to independently design processes, manage your own system settings, and efficiently handle your data—both on the surface and deep inside the server.
