Enterprise Database
|
|
|
|
When the state of Enterprise Database is achieved this enables the organization, planning, and management of executed policy - aka: the organization's data. A key component of the Whitemarsh Enterprise Database materials is the Knowledge Worker Framework (KWF). The KWF is specially tailored to meet the needs of the knowledge worker, and fully embraces all the areas critical to Information Technology success. The KWF address all the 120+ reasons the U.S. Government accounting office cites for IT systems failure.
Enterprise database projects are identified through an information systems plan (ISP). The Whitemarsh ISP approach is very efficient, high quality, timely, immediately usable, and is both reliable and maintainable. The metadata that forms the basis of the ISP is drawn from the Whitemarsh metabase that also serves every database project.
