Database templates in Azure Synapse are industry-specific schema definitions that provide a quick method to create a lake database that can accelerate building analytics-infused industry applications. They act as blueprints that provide common elements derived from best practices, government regulations, and the complex data and analytic needs of an industry-specific organization.
You can use these information blueprints to plan, architect, and design data solutions for data governance, reporting, business intelligence, and advanced analytics. The data models provide integrated business-wide information architectures that can help you implement, in a timely and predictable way, a proven industry data architecture.
The templates offer the following benefits:
- Standardization of data: Standardized description of data and simplified integration of different data sources.
- Pre-designed templates: Addresses a wide variety of healthcare business areas with detail.
- Flexibility to customize and extend: Customers and partners can rapidly build analytics-infused industry use cases by customizing and extending the standard templates using the database editor in Azure Synapse.
