Following a First Principles approach to creating an Enrichment Platform data model requires thinking of our data structures and application data models from a different perspective. In an application, normalization, if followed, aims to optimize application performance for a particular use case. When looking at things from a Data-Centric perspective, the data must be transformed to answer a more extensive variety of questions than the questions defined in the application’s use case.

Categorizing your data sets the stage for the reporting and analytics that follows. Given the Data Structures you will be using to organize your company's data, with some analysis, you will be able to clearly hear what the data is telling you. We will explore how the structures themselves can point the way to the best use cases for driving insight from your data. Join me as I teach you how to hear what the data is working so desperately to say.
