Hi,
I have been asked to propose a Data Architecture for my company.

We are moving into E-Commerce.

This requires integrating our existing legacy systems, and linking to external systems for CRM and maybe Order fulfilment.

It seems like an enormous task.

Where do I start, and how can I estimate the time required, and how can I convince my management that this is a major undertaking ?

I'd appreciate any and all advice, especially some real-life suggestions of what to do and maybe what NOT to do.

TIA B.Dimple
