Enterprise Data Management

Enterprise Data Management (EDM) refers to Thoughtcorp`s unique capabilities in orchestrating Technologies (databases, data warehouses, data transformation and business intelligence/reporting tools) Processes (business processes and rules) and Practices (data governance, master data, architectural governance) around an organization's operational and historical data for the purpose of unlocking its full value - making Enterprise Data accurate, relevant, and accessible.

Almost all the solutions we work on involve some form of data integration and reporting. We can offer a one-stop-shopping approach to this type of work, where we can offer a holistic breadth of service that is generally not offered by our competition (most are either development shops, or data integration shops, but not both).

Simply put, EDM makes us distinct because we are not simply building applications with databases, we are helping companies like Shoppers Drug Mart, McDonalds, Bell Canada, and The Beer Store understand their data; and providing them with tools to use that data for strategic decision support.

As the market evolves to a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) mindset, and clients demand real-time access to legacy data systems, the notion of software development tightly coupled with Enterprise Data Management will become increasingly strong, further reinforcing our competitive differentiation of offering both services. Understanding the true value and relevance of your organization's data assets, from those archived for years to those that pass through your organization for the briefest of instances is the basis of Trusted Intelligence™.

Effectively putting data to work for the benefit of the organization, Thoughtcorp addresses impacting factors through a combination of enabling technologies, methodologies and techniques, termed "data processing semantics".

Data Processing Basics: Data or corporate information assets have been around in digital form for quite some time and in their most fundamental format have been able to transcend changes in computational paradigms. What has not been so successful, due to many contributing factors, is effectively putting that data to work for the benefit of the organization. Thoughtcorp addresses these impacting factors through a combination of enabling technologies, methodologies and techniques, termed "data processing semantics".

Metadata: Metadata involves the capture and presentation of the meaning and context behind the data in your organization. Metadata can be descriptions and/or definitions about the data and is key to transforming it into information that is useful to your business.

Many technological based business initiatives within an organization fail because the data that is behind the initiative is not well understood. Metadata can be of critical success in the delivery of a variety of initiatives including data warehouses, data integration, service oriented architecture, data migration and customer relationship management (CRM).

The problems are generally not technological in nature but semantic whereby the meaning or context of the information is not perfectly understood. Metadata provides the context that allows your business to better interpret its data.
