Enterprise Master Data Management Implementation - Architectural Aspects

Historically, as IT was becoming a critical business function, isolated technology platforms proved to be increasingly inefficient. Redundant processes and systems, duplicate storage, inconsistent support strategies resulted in high cost of disparate IT assets management.

Centralizing the management of IT alleviated applications developers from having to manage and maintaining technology platforms and allowed them to focus on the real jobs. Centralized operations give application development teams the freedom to focus on their responsibility.

The scenario of consolidated IT platform management applies to Master Data Management. Without integrated master data, each individual system or application must manage and integrate data independently from different sources. This means different value representation across systems, duplicated or conflicting data quality methods and rules, and operating data integration positions.

Master Data Management includes a set of disciplines and methods to ensure the currency, meaning and quality of a company s reference data that is shared across various systems and organizations.
