EW Solutions, Inc.

Data Architecture is the design of data for use in defining the
target state and the subsequent planning needed to hit the target
state. Data Architecture is one of the pillars of Enterprise Architecture
and should be aligned with the pillars of Business Architecture,
Application Architecture and Integration Architecture. This overview
presentation will explain Data Architecture, describes how data
is processed, stored, and utilized in a given system. This presentation
will demonstrate that data architecture provides criteria for
data processing operations that make it possible to design data
flows and also control the flow of data in the system. An overview
of the role of a data architect and the importance of meta data
management and data governance will also be included. |
