This blog is for you if you own a small business or you run a multinational company. By the end of this blog, you will be able to understand how data modeling helps in your business, the importance of data management, and how Ellie can help you start using it in your business.
The inception of Ellie
Let’s start from the very beginning of how it all started and what was the intention behind it. It all goes back to 1995, when Ari Hovi, a young consultant, noticed the common challenge that all the businesses were facing: they all had no clear idea about how much data they produce and own and how to make the best use of it. 30 years later, with all the knowledge and experience of data management, Johannes Hovi established Ellie. Ellie was founded in 2019 with the intention of helping businesses to understand their data and introduce them to business-driven data modeling concepts.
This is how Ellie makes your work easy
Imagine you are the owner of a big corporation and your ultimate goal is to grow at a faster rate. For any business to grow, it is very important to have a clear understanding of the data they generate. That is where Ellie comes into the frame. Ellie is an easy-to-use data modeling tool that helps you create a well-defined visual description of your business information for your clear understanding and analysis. One of the best things about Ellie is that you don’t need to install any software and deal with any kind of compatibility issues. It works on your browser and you can work on it from literally anywhere with an internet connection.
Ellie lets you draft your business information architecture in detail. It has a glossary with which you can define what the important entities in your business are in detail.
This is how your Ellie environment will look like.
You can also export your data model contents to be used elsewhere. Even APIs are coming, allowing you to access Ellie’s contents programmatically. It comes with free read access, with which you can share the models and the glossary with your team without downloading, and they can still be able to read the data (but cannot edit or make any changes to it).
