- aiming towards a single, coherent and consistent model of data in the enterprise
- primarily based on relational databases
- focused on storing only validated data
- new database technologies are needed to support application
needs more directly. Application teams now need to consider
which database technology is appropriate for their situation,
rather than using a single (relational) technology for
everything.
- centralized management of data is giving way to particular
applications managing their own data needs. Central groups now
need to focus on enabling effective sharing between
application teams.
