Introduction

InConcept is proud to announce the following upcoming ORM seminars in Minneapolis, MN.

Testimonials

"A great introduction to the concepts and use of Object-Role Modeling taught by instructors with a wealth of knowledge in ORM." -- John Miller, Perpetual Data Systems

"As a rank amateur, I found the information to be extremely valuable. The topic was covered in a clear, concise manner.... As for [the instructors, they] are exceptionally knowledgeable, and able to pass on that knowledge." -- Joe Draheim, Customer FX

"The training was valuable in applying the first column of the Zachman Framework (data) to our software development process at Sandia. This helped me link the business rule approach and the fact model approach together in a workable fashion." -- Patrick Milligan, Sandia National Laboratories

"The course provided me with an excellent overview and initial understanding of ORM. [The InConcept Instructor was] a very knowledgeable instructor." -- James Funk

Seminar Outline

This three-day seminar will focus on the use of Object-Role Modeling to correctly model your business data requirements. Each day also contains "hands on" labs where students practice the technique  while ORM certified instructors give one-on-one assistance.

Students will learn:

  • Why you should model at the conceptual level and the differences between the conceptual, logical, and physical levels. 
  • How to gather data requirements in an accurate, consistent, rigorous manner more expressive than Entity-Relationship modeling and OO (UML) techniques
  • How to transform this additional knowledge into ER diagrams and UML class models
  • How to integrate what you have learned into your current analysis and design processes (and the tools you already use!)
  • How to use the Conceptual Schema Design Procedure (CSDP)
  • Various tool and method tips and tricks
  • How to use ORM as an effective bridge between your analysis and design efforts
  • How to create correct, normalized schemas without manual normalization
  • How to correctly implement surrogate keys without losing any domain knowledge
  • How to ensure domain (not just data type) integrity
  • How to gather attribute level constraints
  • How to completely verify that your models are correct
  • Effective and correct data schema transformations
  • How to make your user community understand, and more importantly, verify your modeling effort
  • How to model in a less error-prone manner
  • Why you shouldn't worry if an element is an entity or an attribute
  • How to quickly use semantic methods to verify existing ER models
  • Advanced modeling constructs and techniques

In addition, each student will receive:

  • A copy of (the revised 1999 second edition of) Conceptual Schema & Relational Database Design by Dr. Terry Halpin
  • Various course materials
  • A Visio Enterprise Test Drive CD (which also contains VisioModeler and Active Query as well as various white papers)
