What Is Data Modeling? 2 Minute erwin Expert Explanation
Data modeling helps organizations visualize and understand complex data systems and sources.
With this understanding, organizations can be better prepared when designing business-critical IT systems and avoid incomplete, inefficient and unsuccessful rollouts.
Let's say you want to build a house. You hire a carpenter, an electrician and a plumber and the next day they all get to work and in no time the house is done.
You have a beautiful jacuzzi tub, except that tub is in the kitchen, the stove is in the hallway and the fireplace is keeping the lawnmower warm down in the garage. Turns out your builders didn't really communicate with each other or consider how their work influenced everyone else's.
And you just learned the hard way that maybe hiring an architect to draw up some blueprints would have saved you a whole lot of time and money. Well the same goes for data ...
Think of a table of data as a room in the house except this data house doesn't have ten rooms it has more like ten thousand. That's a game of data hide and seek you don't wanna play.
And it's why you need data modeling to draw up a blueprint. Tools that build systems to find and process data, to connect dots and spark insights and trigger smart decisions by informed
people and not just today, but as an organization's requirements change into the future ...
