TDWI's Master Data Management poster sorts out the complex layers of the MDM
stack, illustrating how people, practices, and software automation are coordinated
in a mature MDM implementation. Learn how this technology problem is solved
through organizational structures that encourage collaboration. Whether you
are just beginning a master data initiative or are in a mature MDM environment,
this poster will help you master the complexities of MDM.
Master data management (MDM) software solutions are complex in terms of the
available architectural options and how these relate to end-user requirements
and preexisting systems. According to TDWI Research, most MDM solutions are
homegrown and require five tools or platforms, usually from multiple vendors.
These tools include database management systems, data integration platforms,
metadata management repositories, data modeling tools, and so on. An MDM solution also must integrate with a variety of operational applications, and a few
vendors offer dedicated MDM applications. The dizzying array of options is itself
a barrier to action. To help technical users clear the barrier, this poster
illustrates how various tools and architectures come together in a technology
stack for MDM.
This poster will help explain:
- The tools, technologies, and techniques that go into the MDM technology
stack.
- How the tech stack adjusts to practices like operational MDM and analytic
MDM.
- How the MDM technology stack is influenced by pre-existing systems, architectural
approaches, growth over time, and build-versus-buy decisions.
