This Enterprise Data Architecture is a discipline aimed at simplifying, streamlining, standardizing, and improving the accessibility of your organization's data. A successful enterprise data architecture plan should include policies, procedures, and standards for data collection and storage, as well as data management, processing, and use throughout the organization. Most larger organizations currently deal with a highly fragmented data landscape with significant redundancy. This landscape has evolved in many cases due to various factors, including rapid growth, limitations with legacy technology, and a lack of investment in managing your organization's data assets.
