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:
1. What is “master data”?
2. 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.

Why is Information Important?
The Evolution of Competition
1. The Land Grab
• Acquiring unclaimed customers
• Investment in infrastructure, name recognition, and
geographic territory
2. The Killer App
• Stealing customers from the competition by offering new
and better products and services
• Investment in software development
3. 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

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

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

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
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?

Summary
• Figure out what “Master Data Management” means
in your organization
• Think larger than the warehouse.
– Make sure your program is empowered with authority to
be effective within the enterprise.
– Develop a functional area framework and assign
responsibilities
• Develop efficient MDM strategies for each
functional area: Software development process,
standards and waivers, aging and archiving, data
quality, data delivery, security, etc.

• Always remember that you work for the business!
