Speaking the same language, understanding the meaning of the words used and having access to information is of vital importance to the success of any business. A common information model provides the definitions that you need to bring your common language to life in your business.

Learn to avoid common misunderstandings by using a standardized format to identify and define entities, their attributes and their relationships with each other, saving you hundreds of hours of project work.
