Contemplative Questions
Process Approach:
“Let’s look at all of our
processes. Processes take
precedence over data. Get the
processes correct first. Then
we’ll address what data is
important.”
Data Approach:
“Forget the processes, let’s
look at the data. Data comes
first. Get the data correct, then
see how the processes actually
use the data.”
Databases and
Application Independence
Database
– Shared collection of logically related data
– Organized to facilitate capture, storage and
retrieval by multiple users
– Centrally managed
– Designed around subjects such as Customers or
Suppliers
Application Independence
– Separation of data from the applications, e.g.
Payroll data is part of the enterprise-wide data model and
can be used by many systems, not just the Payroll System
