COURSE DESCRIPTION
More complex and demanding business environments are forcing more heterogeneous systems environments. Data integration is required to synchronize master data in order to get a single, consistent view of an enterprise's core business entities-customers, products, suppliers, and employees. MDM solutions enable enterprisewide master data synchronization. Given that effective master data for any subject area requires input from multiple applications and business units, enterprise master data needs a formal management system. Business approval, business process change, and capture of master data at optimal, early points in the data lifecycle are essential to achieving true enterprise master data.
This course will review MDM concepts, rationales, organization, architecture options, and implementation milestones, yielding best practices for reducing redundancy, duplication, and inconsistency of data.
