Data & Information Architecture

What is it?


Data and Information Architecture refers to the way that an organisation organises data and information. It affects how well companies manage and use their data and information in their business operations. 

Information architecture is business-facing, meaning that business requirements drive it. It often uses visual representations, such as conceptual and logical data models, data flow diagrams, and business process models. Often, these data models are representations of an organisation’s metadata.   

Data architecture, on the other hand, is technology-facing. It is the foundation for information architecture and translates the models into database designs and specifications that define how data is captured, stored, updated, and integrated. 



Why is it important?

Data and Information Architecture is key to getting accurate analytics from data. Without transforming data according to clearly defined models, analytics and reporting tools won’t deliver insights correctly. Moreover, integrating new and existing data sources will be more difficult. 

Likewise, a good Data and Information Architecture setup is essential to use data in operations, as it allows for better data management to support business processes and speeds up the development of new solutions or capabilities.
