A Foundation for Understanding
We are Data Architects
We are Data Architects and Data Architecture is our business, so creating a data map that provides a comprehensive inventory of IT systems and data repositories within a corporate enterprise is second nature to us.
When hiring a company or person that provides ESI Data Mapping services, ask for their credentials and if they build enterprise data systems. You'll find that many only run canned software and produce lists without understanding the entire picture. If your case is important enough to need a comprehensive data map, call a company that has over 30 year's experience in building enterprise data solutions.
