Internship Digital Talent Factory – Data Governance in the New: Governing Big Data
Do you have an interest in Big Data and how it is shaping our world? Are you looking for an internship in which you can dive into this topic and how people, processes, and technology can work together to drive impact and growth for Accenture clients? Accenture offers a full-time graduate research internship for at least five months at our office in Amsterdam.
The governing of data is becoming increasingly complex with the rise of Big Data. Data Governance is understood as the way in which people, processes, and technology work together to manage a company’s data as an asset so that it is complete, accurate and secure. Only by adhering to these principles can true value be generated from (for example) Big Data Analytics.
