The [Data Centric Manifesto](https://www.semanticarts.com/the-data-centric-revolution-gaining-traction-data-centric-manifesto/) puts data at the center of the enterprise. From this perspective, applications are optional visitors to the data. The manifesto includes these principles 1. Data is a key asset of any organization. 2. The current enterprise software paradigm is “Application-Centric.” 3. Hoarding data in proprietary and complex apps is a mistake. 4. Most of the excessive cost and complexity in Enterprise Apps stems from the relationship of the apps to the data. 5. We are committed to reversing this trend. 6. We understand that there is money to be made in the application-centric paradigm. 7. There is even more money to be saved in the data-centric paradigm. Organizations can sign the manifesto [here](https://datacentricmanifesto.org/sign/).
