Data Seminar: Structure Data Design vs. Company-wide Design Strategy
In a webinar brought to you in partnership with unspecified partners, industry expert Donna Burbank, Managing Director of Global Data Strategy Ltd, delved into the significance of data architecture within the broader context of enterprise architecture.
With over 25 years of experience in data management and architecture, Burbank emphasised the importance of data architecture in enabling enhanced business value and success. She explained that effective data architecture serves as a foundation to ensure master data management aligns with enterprise goals, thereby driving better control, quality, and consistency of data across the organisation. This, in turn, facilitates accurate decision-making and operational efficiency.
Burbank framed data architecture as the structural backbone that supports data governance policies and operational processes. By managing data architecture well, organisations can derive greater business value through improved analytics, compliance, and agility in responding to market needs.
Though the direct webinar content was not available, Burbank's work at TDWI and related courses on master data management stress this close tie between architecture, governance, and process as key to maximising enterprise architecture's impact on business success.
