Would you suggest sources to implement a data strategy for enterprise applications?

Question: I need to come up with a data strategy for my organization. Would you suggest sources (templates would be useful) to implement a data strategy for enterprise applications, involving CRM, OLAP and financial applications.

Sid Adelman's Answer: Larissa Moss, Majid Abai and I wrote a book entitled Data Strategy. This would be a good start as well as $1.65 in my pocket.

Chuck Kelley's Answer: Depending on your definition of data strategy, I would recommend two books - 1) Data Strategy by Sid Adelman, Larissa Moss and Majid Abai, 2) Corporate Information Factory by Bill Inmon, Claudia Imhoff and Ryan Sousa.
