Logical Data Modelling

Duration : 3 days
Course Reference : HJB-BA109
Price : € 795,– excl. VAT per participant

Course Description : Logical Data Modeling is an essential component of professional business analysis. Logical data modeling is often mistaken for database design. However, logical data modeling is the foundation for excellence in business analysis, business systems analysis and business intelligence requirements analysis.

HJB’s Logical Data Modeling training course provides the basis for understanding the complex moving parts of an organization – its data-oriented business rules – the foundation for precision and agility in requirements analysis.

Vague and ambiguous requirements result in costly, inflexible and maintenance-intensive information systems; systems, that even after all that investment, still do not deliver the necessary functionality. That’s truly unfortunate because there is a clear path to getting the requirements right.

Based on decades of experience, HJB has uncovered and refined the foundational patterns of data-oriented business rules. Participants in HJB’s Logical Data Modeling training course utilize these patterns to rapidly discover, critically analyze and precisely specify data-oriented business rules via entity relationship (ER) diagrams.
