2. Inventory Management in Tally ERP and QuickBooks

Effective inventory management helps businesses increase their profitability. Both QuickBooks and Tally
ERP 9 have many features which can be used for effective inventory management for small, medium
and large businesses. Participants will learn how to create multiple godowns and view stocks across
godowns, choose the particular godown from which stocks need to be utilized, configure batches for an
item and maintain stocks batch wise, manage manufacturing and expiry dates for these batches. They
will also how to generate Stock Summary Reports which gives a complete picture of the stock based on
the classification across categories and groups, showing how much stock is available in which godown,
including a detailed analysis of profitability, and inwards and outwards on a monthly basis and how to
maintain optimum stocks of inventory.

Trainees will also learn to create multiple units of measurements for effective inventory management.
Simple or compound units of measurement as per the unique needs of the business can be created. The
Movement Analysis Report helps businesses in understanding details such as who all are the suppliers of
a product, who are the consumers, at what rate is the product procured, and at what rate it is sold. This
report helps businesses analyze every item and determine the rate that would work best from the
supplier’s side, and the best rate at which it can be sold to a customer. This is the key benefit of
inventory management software.

The Ageing Analysis Report is another important report that helps in effective inventory management. It
helps businesses understand fast moving and slow moving items. Based on this report, a user can take
decisions and procure stocks effectively. Stock Query is another handy report that helps a user view in
single screen complete details of the product, like what is the stock position, at what rate from which
supplier he bought the stocks, to whom all he sold the stocks at what rate, within the same category
which all stocks are available. Also, they will learn how to do stock audit and in case of any shortage or
excess compared to stocks in books a physical stock voucher can be passed.

Many businesses have accumulated a huge amount of data after adopting modern information
technologies such as ERP, database and email systems. These data, however, are underutilized, since
majority of these data purely serves as records of business transactions. However, these large volumes
of data potentially could reveal useful information about the target of interest—customers, in most
business contexts. The primary objective of this course is to introduce students to various techniques
available to extract useful information from the large volumes of data an organization might possess.

Business Intelligence acts as a strategic factor for a business, providing insider information to respond to
business problems: entering new markets, financial control, cost optimization, production planning,
analysis of customer profiles, profitability. The course will equip participants will practical skills on
mining information from large complex databases. You will learn how this data can be manipulated to
result in knowledge-driven decisions. Data mining is the process of finding correlations or patterns
among dozens of fields in large relational databases. Participants will be thought two types of data
mining: descriptive, which gives information about existing data; and predictive, which makes forecasts
based on the data. To reach this end, participants will undertake a practical data mining exercise which
will involve the uses of software such as Power BI, Tableau, SQL Server, Epi-Info and Excel Services in
SharePoint Server 2013.

6. Big Data Analytics, Data Visualizations and Business Intelligence

Enterprises nowadays work with a lot of data (gigabytes, terabytes, petabytes) in just one single data
set. Big Data goes further than traditional Business Intelligence systems. The scope of BI is limited to
structured data while big data can handle all kinds of data (database tables, XML, audio- and video-files,
etc.). Therefore, a possibility of handling unstructured data (like tweets or consumer comments on
social media) is one big difference between Big Data and BI. In this course, participants will learn how to
perform Big Data Analytics through interactive statistical analysis and exploratory capabilities in a visual
interface to understand data and build models. Participants will be introduced to Big data technology,
which includes data warehousing, data visualization, tools for building BI dashboards and performance
scorecards and key performance indicators. In addition, they will learn how these tools generate
findings that are ultimately used to gain competitive advantage over rivals, better and efficient business
operations and better survivability and risk management.

 The Future of the Banking and Financial Services Sector: - Banking on data-driven insights

Today, financial services organizations generate the highest volume of data compared to other
organizations; therefore they have a great opportunity to exploit big data. In Uganda, many entities
have set ambitious strategies to use technology like data analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to gain
new insights which can transform key parts of its business. Many banks are making efforts to develop
enterprise analytics capability which collates and analyses millions of lines of data on transactions to
identify opportunities for the bank and its clients. In the year 2018, the Uganda Institute of Banking &
Financial Services trained over 12 individuals in BI and Big data Analytics from some key banks; namely
Centenary Bank, Stanchart Bank, Diamond Trust bank, EU Mission in Uganda and Exim Bank. This is just
the latest indication that our local financial services firms believe their future success rests on big data
and AI.

According to Lloyds bank’s report titled: “Lloyd’s banks on technology in 2020 strategy” published on
December 18th, 2018, a key priority is "simplification and progressive modernization through targeted
investment in technology, data, and innovation." To support this change, Bank will increase training and
development by 50 percent by 2020. This training will include improving capabilities around data and
applied sciences. The Bank also aims to double its number of digital experience designers and engineers
who specialize in robotics and AI. The bank predicts this strategy will have clear outcomes, including a
positive effect on its bottom line. It anticipates that it will make efficiency improvements of up to 30
percent by 2020. Therefore, more and more financial institutions are banking on data-driven insights. In
a presentation to investors on 16 November, the Netherlands-based bank ABN AMRO said that
innovation and technology would be "a critical enabler for efficiency." A study by SNS Telecom & IT
predicts financial services firms will invest $9 billion in big data this year, raising to $14 billion in 2021.
