Some organizations have difficulty describing and quantifying the business benefits of data modeling. In this whitepaper, Tom Haughey discusses how to calculate the return on investment (ROI) of data modeling by assessing the economic value of real data modeling benefits, such as improved requirements definition, reduced maintenance, accelerated development, improved data quality and reuse of existing data assets. Learn about several methods for calculating your data modeling ROI, including:
• Cost/benefit analysis
• Percentage of savings in development
• Percent savings of maintenance
