  3. Abstract – MDM is bigger than you think • Master Data Management (MDM) is critical to effective managing the information assets of your company. Unfortunately, however, the meaning of the term Master Data Management has become more limited in scope over time. • To understand the full scope of MDM, you must ask yourself two questions: • What is “master data”? • What all is involved in “managing” it? • How you answer these two questions determines whether your MDM program is a departmental or enterprise solution, and whether you are managing the information or managing a process. • This presentation will propose a framework for MDM that is broad in terms of both data and functionality.

  4. Why is Information Important?The Evolution of Competition • The Land Grab • Acquiring unclaimed customers • Investment in infrastructure, name recognition, and geographic territory • The Killer App • Stealing customers from the competition by offering new and better products and services • Investment in software development • The Information War • Stealing and retaining customers from the competition by knowing more about the customer and giving them individually customized treatment • Investment in business intelligence, customizable offerings

  5. First: What is “Master Data”? Application-specific, non-duplicated, non-shared data … Data duplicated in multiple apps App A App B App C App Z Other Data shared with enterprise There seem to be three different definitions: Master Data is all the data, everywhere. Master Data is just the data that is duplicated in multiple applications. Master Data is any data that is exposed outside of an application, whether it is duplicated or not.

  6. Second: What does it mean to “manage” data?

  14. Data Standards • No duplicate data • SoA same as SoR unless proven untenable • Only one warehouse • All data is owned by the enterprise, not individuals or departments • Data storage and transmission must comply with security standards • Services used by multiple applications must use data structures derived from the enterprise data model • All data structures must be documented • All new data structures must be derived from enterprise data model • Data quality should be addressed at the point of entry into corporate network • Information should be as accurate and current as possible • Data access should always be directed to the SoA • The data model should drive the choice and architecture of applications, and should be based in turn on business requirements • Any exceptions should go through Data Governance

  15. Dimensions of Data Quality for an Analytical Repository • INTEGRITY – does the data accurately reflect the source system? • VALIDATION – is the data valid for the field? • VERIFICATION – is the data actually true? • BALANCING – does the data compare to other systems (i.e. GL)? • AUDITING – Are there outlying values?
