Bill Inmon is a renowned figure in the field of data architecture. He witnessed the evolution of the concept, from the early days when it consisted of defining keys and attributes and storing them in databases, to the realization that a more organized approach was needed. As databases grew in complexity, the idea that a database should be a source of data for all processing took root.

He became a leading advocate for the development of data warehouses, which aimed to provide a comprehensive and unified solution for businesses to store and manage their data. Inmon's expertise in this area helped him become a trusted advisor for corporations, guiding them in building reliable and trustworthy data repositories.
