11.6 Summary<br />

In this chapter, we reviewed the concept of a data and data application lifecycle and some<br />

of the key tasks associated <strong>with</strong> the phases of that lifecycle. We described how an<br />

integrated approach to data management can make these tasks more efficient and less<br />

risky by facilitating collaboration among roles and automatically en<strong>for</strong>cing rules from one<br />

lifecycle phase to the next. We reviewed some of the <strong>IBM</strong> offerings <strong>for</strong> data lifecycle<br />

management and their key capabilities.<br />

Finally, we closed <strong>with</strong> a description of how the InfoSphere Optim solutions can extend the<br />

capabilities in Rational <strong>for</strong> data-centric application development.<br />
