Data architecture - Concept
Data architecture
The overall design for how an organisation stores, moves and uses data
What's it for?
Gives an organisation a clear plan for how its data should be organised, stored and moved.
For example…
A company’s data architecture shows where sales, finance and customer information comes from, where it is stored and which reports and AI tools use it
During a merger, data architecture sets out how two organisations' customer data will be combined without creating another set of conflicting records
