Practical Data Modeling

Everyone talks about data leadership and how important it is. But what is that valuable data, and in what format is it maintained in data systems? Data modeling helps visualize and analyze the structures and contents of critical data so the organization and business can make use of it.

The Practical Data Modeling training session helps you understand how you can visualize the interdependencies between the information your organization uses and various data objects. The training session will cover the basics of information architecture and the methods for creating a data model that supports the organization’s operations, such as to support the launch of a configuration management database (CMDB).
