What are industry models?
An IBM Industry Model provides a catalog of industry-specific terminology and concepts, data structure designs and KPI and report designs, which can quickly help governance, compliance and integration efforts.
These can help accelerate your analytics journey by applying best practices using pre-designed industry-specific content. An IBM Industry Model can help you manage your enterprise data whether in your data warehouse or in the data lake, so you can derive insights and make informed decisions.
IBM Industry Data Models work hand in hand with IBM Process and Service Models, which are specifications of processes and services common among organizations in a particular industry. They represent our best-practice business process models with supportive service definitions for development of a fluid, service-oriented environment. Many organizations choose to complement their IBM Industry Data Model with IBM Process and Service Models.
