Case Study: Establishing Data Modeling as a Service in BP

Some of the biggest companies on the planet use ER/Studio for their data architecture and data modeling needs. And BP is one of them. It has a large federated organization with a diverse set of systems and data. This real-world case study describes the four-year journey BP embarked upon and describes how this major energy company established data modeling as a service aiding its data governance. With the pressure of regulatory compliance, a focus on data quality and a move to service-oriented architecture, “data” issues are once again coming to the forefront in BP. This presentation will illustrate topics such as:

• Making the case for modeling
• Determine and establishing the “service”
• Enforcing standards across models
• Incorporating stewardship
• Sustaining an effective communications program
• Measuring the benefits
