Data engineering defined
The definition of information content
in a way that is structurally (taxonomically) fundamentally meaningful to human beings who understand the business
and the translation of this content into structured codes which faithfully and accurately reflect human understanding in a way that the computer can manipulate
with minimal human intervention
so that the computer system appears to be intelligent
drives configuration and integration
Strategically focussed, top down, fundamental first principles, precise, models the business and the real world

Data engineering principlesCase study
1. Presented with the client at a public conference – most powerful form of testimonial
2. Dramatic increase in management information
3. Reduction in head count
4. Dramatic reduction in audit time and cost
5. Unqualified balance sheet first time in 15 years

Remediating failed and sub-optimal ERP projects
1. Critical examination – investigate all factors causing failure
2. Plan a project which takes account of all factors for success
3. Precision strategic data engineering / taxonomies, configuration, integration are critical – plan accordingly
4. Design new taxonomies
5. Create mappings from old to new data
6. Either map new taxonomies outside the existing installation in a business intelligence tool
Or
7. Clean slate re-implementation
