Wednesday What: Data Modeling, the Enigma

End clients generally end up overrating the usability of packaged data models, whether as stand-alone models or those models inherent in their software packages. Sooner or later, some amount of what I call ‘original data modeling’ is going to be necessary in any enterprise. Modeling expertise is a must-have though companies go to enormous lengths sometimes to avoid it. I don’t advocate necessarily changing packaged models in applications. However, no untouched application models, or combinations thereof, are going to be completely sufficient for a data warehouse in Fortune clients.
