Burton Group Answers Industry Need for Practical Data Management Advice
Salt Lake City, June 2, 2008 – Burton Group, a research and consulting firm focused on in-depth analysis of enterprise technologies announces a new research coverage area focused on the planning, building, integration, and optimization of data management infrastructure.
Led by highly respected industry expert Peter O’Kelly, Burton Group’s data management research and advice helps enterprises advance business performance through emerging data management opportunities based on the effective use of database management systems, XML data management and standards, data modeling tools and techniques, and business intelligence tools and services.
According to Jamie Lewis, Burton Group CEO and research chair, “Data is proliferating at an exponential rate in today’s enterprise. That creates both significant problems and opportunities. Poor data management can lead to missed business opportunities and regulatory headaches. Managing data well means understanding your business more deeply, recognizing opportunities more quickly, and avoiding regulatory problems down the road.”
“Burton Group’s coverage of data management provides the in-depth advice IT architects need to address these issues by delivering company-wide access to a suite of powerful, intuitive research and decision support tools, including unlimited access to our analysts,” says Lewis.
