This is the bible for MDM Architecture

This is a book which belongs on every desk of Enterprise Information IT-Architects, CIOs and business decision makers interested in optimizing their current business processes using Master Data Management! It provides a complete MDM Reference Architecture including component interaction diagrams, MDM architecture patterns and MDM Solution Blueprints for various industries. Furthermore, it explains why MDM is a key SOA enabler and why security and privacy are of paramount importance for MDM deployments. Finally, in a dedicated chapter on Data Governance, a critical success factor for implementing MDM is explained. Another amazing aspect is that this book focuses on architectural principals and is absolutely software product agnostic. Therefore, the key principles explained for designing MDM solutions the right way without a product feature/function discussion make this book very useful for a long period of time. It was a lot of fun to read and I drew a lot of useful insights from it. In my opinion an absolute must read for MDM practitioners!

The Only Complete Technical Primer for MDM Planners, Architects, and Implementers

Companies moving toward flexible SOA architectures often face difficult information management and integration challenges. The 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, improve corresponding business processes, and maximize its value in SOA environments.

Enterprise Master Data Management provides an authoritative, vendor-independent MDM technical reference for practitioners: architects, technical analysts, consultants, solution designers, and senior IT decisionmakers. Written 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 otherUsing the MDM Reference Architecture to position and design MDM solutions within an enterpriseAssessing the value and risks to master data and applying the right security controlsUsing PIM-MDM and CDI-MDM Solution Blueprints to address industry-specific information management challengesExplaining MDM patterns as enablers to accelerate consistent MDM deploymentsIncorporating MDM solutions into existing IT landscapes via MDM Integration BlueprintsLeveraging master data as an enterprise asset?bringing people, processes, and technology together with MDM and data governanceBest practices in MDM deployment, including data warehouse and SAP integration
