      <title>Webinar:  Using Universal Data Models to Jumpstart Your Data Modeling Effort</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: rgb(224, 49, 39);"&gt;Using Universal Data Models to Jumpstart Your Data Modeling Effort&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: 13.5pt; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: rgb(224, 49, 39);"&gt;15 January 2008 / 11 AM EST &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In general, two thirds of an organization’s data consists of common constructs that are applicable to most organizations and the other one third has been customized for their own needs. This means that most data modeling efforts are often recreating what has already been built many times before. Not only that, but many data modeling efforts often lead to internal battles that can delay or even bring a project to a halt. Luckily, there are resources and tools that can help you jumpstart a new project and avoid "re-inventing the wheel" every time a new system needs to be developed or re-architected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div align="center"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font color="#993300"&gt;&lt;a href="http://emb.rsys1.net/servlet/website/ResponseForm?LtmE1.2ef_3LIpgHk_cHgTB_bgOpmL" target="_blank"&gt;Register&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Don't miss hearing first-hand from modeling expert and best selling author of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Data Model Resource Book&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; series, Len Silverston, and ER/Studio Product Manager, Jason Tiret, as they walk through how you can save both time and money on data modeling and data warehouse projects using data model templates. This webinar will include how world-class organizations are using data model templates to:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
•	Jumpstart data modeling efforts&lt;br /&gt;
•	Reduce development time and costs on new projects&lt;br /&gt;
•	Facilitate standardization of existing data models&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If you're evaluating data modeling tools and data model templates, or already have a project in place, Using Universal Data Models to Jumpstart Your Data Modeling Effort will help you understand what leading organizations are doing to realize the most ROI from their data modeling investments.&lt;/p&gt;
