You will soon realize that promoting and defending your EDM is peanuts comparing to the real implementation. \nAs soon as the rubber meets the road, suddenly everyone has an opinion, especially the business unit that is first impacted.  They feel like guinea pigs and are likely to question the added value of your initiative. You need to convince everyone, time and time again, about the importance of your EDM. \nTherefore, don’t forget the purpose of your EDM: an enterprise wide approach to bridge the gap between business and IT, faster time to market, and reducing cost and risks.  \nA number of key deliverables are essential to become successful:\n\n Use versioning conscientiously \n Staff up the data modelling team\n Use your initial projects as a guide for impact analysis\n Consider both short and long term planning\n Training, training, training...\n Use design workshops to create your first production version
