Not sure of what you are looking for...

An overview of data management technologies - oo-dbms, o/r-dbms, r-dbms? Distributed vs centralized capabilities? File systems in the database?

Or, the state of the data models in the corporation and the direction they need to change towards?

(My guess, based upon many direct professional observations of many companies, plus anecdotal evidence from many more, is that you have a 99.99999999999999999999999 % chance that the current data models in use are incredibly bad, filled with denormalized data that doesn't agree with itself, is structurally static exactly where it most needs to be dynamic, uses the same codes to mean different things for the same data item in different stovepipe systems, is full of invalid data and, in general, shows the result of institutional incompetence on a grand scale for decades.)

My suggestions would be different for each.
