Our apologies, there are no quick fixes to a chaotic data architecture.
While the journey to optimization is longer than any one project, there are tactics that can be employed now to move towards control:
- Map the architecture
- Standardize processes
- Document processes
- Create a data dictionary
Understanding data architecture is also an important aspect of getting it under control. Decide on a data architecture model to work towards, and in the meantime, tack data integration projects on to other business projects related to integration.
