Enterprise Master Data Management: An SOA Approach to Managing Core Information, Hardback
The Only Complete Technical Primer for Every MDM Planner and Implementer
Companies moving toward flexible SOA architectures often face difficult information management and integration challenges. The lifeblood master data they rely on is often stored and managed in ways that are redundant, inconsistent, inaccessible, non-standardized,
and poorly governed. Using Master Data Management (MDM), organizations can regain control of their master data and maximize its value in SOA environments.
Now, for the first time, there's an authoritative, vendor-independent MDM technical reference for every practitioner: architects, technical analysts, consultants, solution designers, and senior IT decision-makers. Authored by the IBM data management innovators who are pioneering MDM, this book systematically introduces MDM's key concepts and technical themes, explains its business case, and illuminates how it interrelates with and enables SOA.
Drawing on their experience with cutting-edge projects, the authors introduce MDM patterns, blueprints, solutions, and best practices published nowhere else--everything you need to establish a consistent, manageable set of master data, and use it for competitive advantage.
Coverage includes
* How MDM and SOA complement each other
* Using the MDM Reference Architecture to position and design MDM solutions within an enterprise
* Assessing the value and risks to master data, and applying the right security controls
* Utilizing PIM-MDM and CDI-MDM Solution Blueprints to address industry-specific information management challenges
* Incorporating MDM solutions into existing IT landscapes via MDM Integration Blueprints
* Leveraging master data as an enterprise asset - bringing people, process, and technology together with MDM and data governance
* Identifying user roles, responsibilities. and skill descriptions for MDM project participants
* Case studies in MDM deployment, including data warehouse and SAP integration
