At the center of organizational performance lies a much abused and
poorly understood concept called data. Data is to management what oxygen is to combustion. Without
oxygen, there can be no fire; likewise, without data, there can be no management. Most
organizations are either data starved or data saturated, or they suffer from a severe case of
data poisoning. Data architecture is the first and most important step in the cure. It is also
the single most important bridge between IT and the user community.
