Problem: A VP demands a consolidated customer sales
report across product lines from different divisions. As you dig into
the request, it’s clear that sale is defined differently. Some have
it as gross, some net before taxes, some after taxes. Worse yet, there
are codes everywhere. Some have the same code name but there are different
value sets and different meanings.
This tutorial introduces the key topics and scenarios involved in creating interoperable data environments. Identified as well are the problems that commonly occur such as complexity and latency.
The tutorial defines the levels of data interoperability to be achieved. Presented too is the overall content and construction of a metadata repository environment critical component to a success strategy.
The tutorial details the various scenarios that must occur to achieve a data interoperability environment including enterprise architectures, information systems plans, data model engineering, and then both reverse and forward engineering.
