Data Management in Plain English P
Every organisation needs to understand and manage its information and data as a valuable corporate asset. Every organisation has three key resources - people, assets and information. Yet all too often the management of data and information is the Cinderella of the organisation and scant attention is paid to this key area. Where projects are allowed to develop databases without reference to common and consistent data standards, information provision becomes increasingly difficult and applications continue to generate data problems for the future, with today's applications become tomorrow's legacy systems! A well considered data management function provides the underpinning to application development and information provision. Applications can use data with confidence; users obtain the information they want in the knowledge that it is based on correct underlying data; and confidence grows. The aims, objectives and techniques of data management are often misunderstood. This seminar is designed to unravel some of the mystery surrounding data management.
This seminar is intended for Business Managers, IT Managers and Project Managers.

Data Modelling P
Data modelling is normally assumed to be a technique employed in the initial stages of database design. Properly employed, data modelling will lead to the design of databases that hold the data required by the business to carry out its tasks in such a way that the business is presented with consistent, up-to-date and accurate information, whilst allowing for future changes in business practices. But data modelling techniques can also be used to help to understand and document the information requirements of a business, irrespective of whether that is to lead to the development of a database or not. Data modelling is a powerful business analysis tool in its own right.
This course teaches the key techniques of data modelling and data analysis that allow analysts to document information needs and system developers to satisfy the business information needs.
