Data Modeling is how we do Data Architecture. Many are confused when it comes to data. Architecture, models, data – it can seem a bit overwhelming. This webinar offers a clear explanation of Data Modeling as the primary means of achieving better understanding of Data Architecture components. Using a storytelling format, this webinar presents an organization approaching the daunting process of attempting to better leverage its data. The organization is currently not knowledgeable of these concepts and begins the process of understating its current state as well as a desired future state. We join as the organization takes steps to better understand what is has, and what it needs to accomplish to employ Data Modeling and Data Architecture to achieve its mission.
