About the Webinar

In order to prepare for a data governance initiative, companies need to break down their organizational silos and address inefficiencies in business processes. Any organization will use a number of different business processes for operations, sales, marketing, and other areas. Capturing the way a business works can be challenging, but data architects should work with business stakeholders to establish process models and ensure they are all speaking the same language, to create a solid foundation for enterprise architecture and data governance. IDERA’s Kim Brushaber will discuss the importance of business process modeling as the first step for data governance and demonstrate how ER/Studio Business Architect helps companies map and model the relationships between processes, people and data.
