Information and Data Architecture («IDA»)

The interaction between different IT systems and services is only made possible by data. This data is omnipresent, either because it is often stored redundantly in a wide variety of systems or because it is exchanged via countless interfaces. Maintaining visibility and control is essential for the sustainable operation of IT and is also a prerequisite for turning data into useful information for the business.

• Databases and data warehouses
• Data quality and its importance
• Identification of information needs
• Information analysis and data structures
• Data models (ERD and UML)
