Data modelers and data architects have distinctly different roles, but they work in a complementary fashion to help enterprises unlock and capitalise on data's business value.

David Loshin the president of Knowledge Integrity Inc notes that Data architecture focuses on the global level of the data platforms and tools as well as the standards and guidelines for the policies, processes and oversight of enterprise data management. The goal of data architecture is is to establish a solid framework for corporate data processing, organisation and usage.

Well-defined data models provide the basis for devising data storage, access and protection policies, as well as inform the data architect's selections of platforms, tools and technologies. An established data architecture simplifies the data modeler's job.
