Data modeling is a potent tool in today’s complex business environment. Pressured by higher-velocity business
decisions and business information distribution, today’s businesses are being forced to address critical IT system
integration issues driven by complex mergers, multinational operations, and increased regulatory requirements.

challenges by establishing the clearly-defined standards and procedures your organization needs to assure the ROI
