Enterprise Information Management

Let me try to explain. Do you know that Nervous System consists of two parts – Central and Peripheral Nervous Systems.  The central system - containing brain and spinal cord – coordinates all parts of bodies. The peripheral Nervous System – containing sensory and other neurons to connect to other systems and central system – controls certain body functions independently. Central and Peripheral Nervous System together controls the behavior of human being.

Based on above brief explanation, I dare to comment that it is mostly (not completely) analogous to BI/DW architecture of Federated Architecture. So if you assume our body to be an enterprise with regional spread, then peripheral nervous system is the regional DW managing its local requirements independently and sometimes with HQ help. While central nervous system is the Corporate HQ that controls all parts of organization with input from regions. And together through their activities, they display the organization behavior.

Do you find it Interesting? – please comment.

In next blog, I plan to write on how ‘Data capture and integration offerings of product companies’ are still way behind the way we human capture and integrate information. There is a great learning and can be applied in next steps in EIM.
