"Are you struggling with the formal design of your organisation's data resource? Do you find yourself forced into generic data architectures and universal data models? Do you find yourself warping the business to fit a purchased application? Do you find yourself pushed into developing physical databases without formal logical design? Do you find disparate data throughout the organisation? If the answer to any of these questions is Yes, then you need to read Data Resource Design to help guide you through a formal design process that produces a high quality data resource within a single common data architecture. Most public and private sector organisations do not consistently follow a formal data resource design process that begins with the organisation's perception of the business world, proceeds through logical data design, through physical data design, and into implementation. Most organisations charge ahead with physical database implementation, physical package implementation, and other brute-force-physical approaches. The result is a data resource that becomes disparate and does not fully support the organisation in its business endeavours. This book describes how to formally design an organisation's data resource to meet its current and future business information demand. It builds on ""Data Resource Simplexity"", which described how to stop the burgeoning data disparity, and on ""Data Resource Integration"", which described how to understand and resolve an organisation's disparate data resource. It describes the concepts, principles, and techniques for building a high quality data resource based on an organisation's perception of the business world in which they operate. Like ""Data Resource Simplexity"" and ""Data Resource Integration"", Michael Brackett draws on five decades of data management experience building and managing data resources, and resolving disparate data in both public and private sector organisations. He leverages theories, concepts, principles, and techniques from a wide variety of disciplines, such as human dynamics, mathematics, physics, chemistry, philosophy, and biology, and applies them to properly designing data as a critical resource of an organisation. He shows how to understand the business environment where an organisation operates and design a data resource that supports the organisation in that business environment."
