Logical Data Modeling:
Ambiguity to Clarity: Your Blueprint to Mastering Data Modeling

IIBA Endorsed Education Provider| ACCET Acccredited 

Business terminology encapsulates an organization’s business concepts, relational structures and body of knowledge known as "data-oriented business rules."

These rules are often ambiguous, unofficially govern how organizations operate, how decisions are made, and often form the basis for data-oriented business system and business intelligence requirements.

Ambiguous requirements result in costly, inflexible, maintenance-intensive information systems. That’s truly unfortunate because there is a clear path to getting the requirements right.

Inteq’s Logical Data Modeling training course provides the best practice techniques and methods to:

  • Identify, analyze, and transform ambiguous business concepts into clear, concise, extensible data-oriented rules that deeply support business systems and business intelligence requirements.
  • Uncover the foundational patterns and unique nuances of your organization’s data-oriented business rules.
  • Utilize these patterns and nuances to rapidly discover, clearly visualize, critically analyze, and precisely specify data-oriented business rules via entity-relationship (ER) diagrams.

This is not just a training course but a transformational experience that prepares you to become a trusted advisor for the challenges of tomorrow's business landscape.

Testimonials

"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."
