However, these informal rules unofficially govern how organizations operate and how decisions are made. These rules are surprisingly vague and ambiguous; they are rarely subject to critical analysis. Yet, these rules are the basis for articulating business system requirements that are equally vague and ambiguous.
Vague and ambiguous requirements result in costly, inflexible and maintenance-intensive information systems; systems, that even after significant investment, still do not deliver the necessary functionality. That’s truly unfortunate because there is a clear path to getting the requirements right.
Based on decades of experience, Inteq has uncovered and refined the foundational patterns of data-oriented business rules. Participants in Inteq’s Logical Data Modeling training course utilize these patterns to rapidly discover, critically analyze and precisely specify data-oriented business rules via entity relationship (ER) diagrams.

"Very well organized, thorough, appropriate amount of individual work, group work, and lecturing. I appreciated the extra time given to allow diagrams to sink in."
"Great online course that covered all the essential data patterns. The instructor was excellent...very polished, knowledgeable and thorough. The examples he used and the time he gave us to relate it to our industries was invaluable."
"The instructor interaction with the group was invaluable - to consistently ask for our day to day business examples to help relate the concepts from the course. Also found the custom or proprietary data modeling patterns helpful. Very insightful way to take a different approach to the 'by the book' criteria."
