Master Data Management (MDM) is According to ‘The CDI Institute” • The authoritative, reliable foundation for data used across many applications & constituencies with the goal to provide a single view of the truth no matter where it lies. According to Gartner • Master Data: Consistent and Uniform set of identifiers and attributes that describe the core entities of the enterprise • MDM is a technology-enabled discipline in which business and IT organizations work together to ensure uniformity, accuracy, stewardship, semantic consistency and accountability of the enterprise’s official, shared master data assets. According to Forrester • Master data is the most trusted and unique “version” of important enterprise data, such as customer, product, employee, or asset that is captured, maintained, and used across disparate systems. MDM is the business capability that delivers master data throughout an organization through the alignment of multiple information management technologies such as PIM, CDI, and data quality, plus business process improvements and organization commitments. ©2010 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 14 “Mastering” Master Data Solutions

Customer Data Model • Using TCA there are multiple ways a Customer data can be created and maintained. • Some approaches are better in some operational contexts than other • On the two extremes: – Party Centric Approach • is when a Party is created for every single site (location) of the Customer and party relationships are used to build the corporate hierarchy. • The focus is on creating parties and relating them to each other. – Site Centric Approach • is when only one party is created for the Customer and all sites of the customer are created as party sites of this party. • The focus is on creating multiple sites ©2010 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 72 “Mastering” Master Data Solutions
