The Datamatic Cycle

The Datamatic Cycle follows five professionals through their discussions at an international conference. The discussions begin with horror stories and basic problems about traditional data management. The discussions evolve through observation of the business environment where an organization operates, development of a Datamatic Cycle, supported by laws and rules, to development of a data resource that suppo0rts the organization's business activities. The Datamatic Cycle promotes formal data resource management that manages data as a critical resource. Thee book begins a series of speculative business fiction books. Like science fiction, business fiction is based on existing business fact, and presents scenarios that are speculative business fiction today, but will ultimately become established business fact.
