Data Architecture
Data Architecture is an important step on the road to enterprise wide data management. It’s the blueprint for your company’s ongoing data management strategy and a model for success. Without it, your data can’t be leveraged for its intended goal, servicing the needs of the business so it can grow and prosper.
A dynamic and constantly-evolving process, the data architecture process seeks to answer the following questions:
- What kind of data is being created and how will it be defined?
- How will the data be visualized to allow it to be understood across multiple departments?
- Who owns and can access the data?
- Where and how will the data be stored and managed?
- How will your data be used for business?
