SEVEN SEAS data architecture consultancy helps organisations define their current and future needs for storage, accumulation, retention, archival, maintenance and transfer of data between various systems within or outside the organisation. This requires ensuring that data elements, reflecting the enterprise level functional and technical vocabulary, are organised into a standardized data dictionary that accommodates the breadth of business activities performed. The team evaluates the type of data stored to determine commonality, uniqueness, redundancy and efficiency and provides an assessment that lays the foundation for an enterprise data architecture which supports the application development efforts and streamlines the design process.
