International Not an Entry Level Profession

The Data Management profession has members who are entrusted with the information of major organizations. Many, if not most, of these professionals work for large organizations and are charged with definition, development, and management of the mission-critical information stores of significant organizations of the world.In smaller organizations, IT professionals take on multiple roles so that a portion of the work is data management; but ‘hidden’ in the overall skill setMost of these professionals have been out of college for 15 to 20 years – this is not an entry-level profession (from a DAMA survey 2006)


International A Plethora of Job Titles

Data AnalystDatabase AnalystData ModelerData Management SpecialistInformation Analyst

Data Management suffers from a lack of standard job titles:

Part of the problem is that generic job titles are a purposeful strategy for businesses to describe a multitude of job skills eg. The Hay Group Method
