Database Management

The enterprise infrastructure role for DBMSs is rapidly expanding, going far beyond basic structured data to include XML content and a variety of non-traditional data models.

Burton Group believes the industry is in the midst of a renaissance in data management. With increasingly powerful database management systems (DBMSs), rapid expansion in XML data management, and business intelligence tools now compelling for all information workers, enterprises have unprecedented opportunities to advance business performance through improved data management. Burton Group’s Data Management Strategies (DMS) coverage area helps enterprises understand and exploit these new data management opportunities.

Database management focus areas include:

• Extended relational DBMSs
• XML data management in DBMSs
• Specialized DBMS models (such as object and streaming database servers)
• Role of DBMSs within broader super-platform architectures.

This topic relates to the Data Management coverage area - Planning, building, integrating, and optimizing data management infrastructure, addressing the full data life cycle and both traditional (e.g., on-premises, database management system-based) and emerging (e.g., data management software-as-a-service) architectures.
