Data Access Strategies

If information is the lifeblood of a business, then data represents the corpuscles that nourish a business. Data supplies “business oxygen” to application systems, process automation, systems integration, business analysis, and decision making. Enabling easy access to information—which is derived from data—generates significant business value, and it’s a great way to delight a business user that manages IT budgets. Focus areas include data access frameworks and data access strategies.

• Data access frameworks: query frameworks, object/relational (OR) frameworks, XML binding frameworks, mapping Unified Modeling Language (UML) to XML and legacy formats, data services architecture, and development principles for information security and privacy
