Overview

Data represents the atomic level of today’s information systems. Data is the building blocks upon which everything else depends. In a very real sense if you get the data right, the rest will follow. If you get the data wrong, the system may never recover. This workshop is designed to give you a time-proven set of techniques, methods, and tricks to help you analyze an existing data model, create a new data model, and extract informational requirements essential to the success of your information technology projects.
