What is Data Architecture?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Data architecture is the standardization process <\/strong>in which organizations define how they collect, store, transform, distribute and use their data.

Data architecture is the part of IT architecture that deals with fundamental structures and principles of data and information as well as their construction, use and further development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more and more data from internal and external sources available in real time, corporate strategists have pushed for more and faster insights from data. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
