Not only are there numerous technical criteria and requirements, but there are often political, organizational and cultural challenges as well.  The place of data modelling in the organization, the types of models to be created (Enterprise, Conceptual, Logical, Physical), and not forgetting any historical considerations e.g, a database administrator may have a "favorite" tool that he has used in the past.  The corporate standard might dictate yet another technology, which may not align technically with your particular project. There may be a push to use technical checklists or formal RFPs that may not apply to your individual needs.  Information from vendors may be flavored with their own particular strengths, which may not be relevant to your requirements.  So how do you sort through all of these conflicting messages to choose the tool that is right for you and your culture?\nIt is imperative that your organizations’ requirements be fully understood, documented and prioritized, and that the team responsible in the decision process clearly highlights the implications of requirements before the evaluation process gets too far along and is well versed in diplomacy and stakeholder management.\nThis presentation will describe the factors to consider – technical, organizational and cultural when evaluating a Data Modelling tool and share a simple 10 step process that anyone can adopt.\nTo avoid frustrations and streamline the decision making process, leverage this 10-step guide to evaluate each data modelling solution best suited for your unique business needs. It will enable the evaluation team to make a strategic and sound decision, and maybe even make you the data modelling evaluation hero.
