What Is Data Modeling?

Data modeling is the process of creating a data model to communicate data requirements, documenting data structures and entity types. It serves as a visual guide in designing and deploying databases with high-quality data sources as part of application development.

Data modeling has been used for decades to help organizations define and categorize their data, establishing standards and rules so it can be consumed and then used by information systems. Today, data modeling provides even greater value because critical data exists in both structured and unstructured formats and lives both on premise and in the cloud. So it’s a cost-effective and efficient way to manage and govern massive volumes of data, aligning data assets with the business functions they serve. You can automatically generate data models and database designs to increase efficiency and reduce errors to make the lives or your data modelers – and other stakeholders – much more productive.
