Enterprise Data Architecture
Data, information and information systems are critical assets of any organization. Enterprise data architecture guides the effective use of these assets to achieve strategic goals and objectives. Enterprise data architecture is a set of master blueprints used to align information assets and IT programs with business strategy and to guide the integration, quality improvement and effective delivery of data. Enterprise data architecture is part of the overall and complete enterprise architecture. Enterprise architecture is an essential management tool.
This course outlines the enterprise data architecture principles and practices and shows students how to develop their skills as an enterprise data architect. Course workshops are designed to demonstrate the concepts and allow students to practice the application of techniques and processes to develop an organization’s data architecture.
The course provides participants with practical, in-depth understanding of how to build, maintain and use enterprise data architecture as an essential part of an enterprise information management (EIM) program. Through case studies and team interaction, participants will gain real-world perspectives and skills in enterprise modeling, managing architecture projects and applying enterprise architecture to solve business problems. While primary emphasis will be on enterprise data architecture, the course and its workshops will also discuss other aspects of enterprise architecture.
