What is User Focused Data Architecture?

How JCK can help

We can train your staff in BEAM. Our courses are designed to take people who’ve had no exposure to data analysis and bring them up to familiarity in two short days.

If you want further specific training in tuning your blueprint to better support a transactional system, or if you're designing a decision support system, we can provide training in how to do that as well.

And also, if you think you need it, we can come to your site and help you build a data architecture using BEAM. That's right, because in a pinch, we can be data consultants, too (promise not to tell!)

But even then, everything we do will focus on your users and their understanding of your operations. Because we think your business will work best when your systems are designed around the expertise of your most important and valuable consultants:

Your own people.
 “JCK analysis was amazingly fast. One day with our executive staff gave us a complete picture of our operation. That formed the basis for our main operational system.”

- Karen L., VP Operations

Back


Since 1989, JCK has been devoted to teaching and implementing the principles of User-Focused Data Architecture. UFDA is based on the principle that the users are the data experts in any organization. Sound data architecture should focus on extracting the user's knowledge, clarifying ambiguous defintions, and building understandable data structures. These definitions and structures serve as the basis for system development. The first and most well known UFDA technique is Extended Relational Analysis ™ (ERA), which has been proven for decades. More recent techniques include Business Event Analysis & Modeling ™ (BEAM), which is useful for both Transactional Systems (BEAM TSS) and Decision Support Systems (BEAM DSS).
