Nowadays, we are in a very technology-centered world. Organizations are developing new systems every day. However, we have seen many unsuccessful cases in the IT development projects. One of the key reasons is the absence of appropriate data modelling. There is no common language between those system developers, and this is where the data modeler comes in. Also, some organizations may develop certain data model that are similar to others, which means they don’t have to develop it from scratch. Thus, this course tends to teach students how to conduct data modelling in order to save organizations’ time and money by leveraging the use of common or universal database structures.
