Implementation - Co-existence MDM
Low-code data integration
Finally, a Master Data Management platform that anyone can use. OpenAI integration lets any business user master data without technical expertise - just type a plain language prompt, hit enter and it's done.
Different domains may have unique requirements for managing master data
Co-existence MDM recognizes that different domains or business units within an organization may have unique requirements for managing master data. This style allows multiple MDM systems to coexist independently, each focusing on a specific domain or business unit.
Co-existence MDM supports data federation, data synchronization, and data sharing across independent MDM systems.
It provides flexibility and autonomy for different business units while maintaining some level of data integration and consistency.
Benefits of co-existence MDM:
Flexibility
Flexibility to accommodate diverse data management requirements within an organization.
Data governance
Allows independent MDM systems to operate with their own governance and processes.
Data sharing
Supports data sharing and collaboration across different business units.
Scalability
Enables scalable and modular MDM deployments.
Challenges of co-existence MDM
Data consistency and integration
Co-existence MDM involves managing multiple independent MDM systems. Ensuring data consistency and integration across these systems can be extremely difficult. Managing data conflicts, data duplication, and ensuring data quality can be complex in a co-existence environment.
Complexity and maintenance:
Managing multiple MDM systems can introduce complexity in terms of system maintenance, upgrades, and interoperability. Ensuring that changes in one system do not negatively impact others and managing dependencies is an ongoing concern.
Collaboration and governance
Co-existence MDM requires establishing effective collaboration mechanisms and governance models to enable data sharing and alignment across the independent MDM systems. Ensuring coordination, data stewardship, and consistent data governance practices demands that there still be a global hub with responsibility for coordination across the different models.
Cost
Multiple MDM systems will invariably mean higher operational costs and multiple suppliers to manage. Companies that take this approach also need to ensure that each business unit has its own team of data experts on hand to manage the system. Attracting and retaining technical talent is difficult at the best of times, and often the option to have dedicated data scientists and engineers within separate teams is only feasible for the largest of organizations.
Use case example...
A global conglomerate with multiple business units wants to implement MDM independently in each unit to cater to their specific needs. Co-existence MDM allows each business unit to manage its master data while enabling collaboration and data sharing across the organization when required.
How CluedIn solves co-existence MDM challenges
CluedIn addresses common co-existence MDM challenges in the following ways:
Powered by Graph
Once again, Graph is key to solving many of the hurdles associated with Co-existence. As a combination of the Centralized and Consolidated MDM implementation styles, CluedIn solves many of the inherent challenges using capabilities like zero upfront modeling, easy ingestion, automated matching, merging and deduplication, and automated rule building.
Write data back to source systems
Using Power Automate, CluedIn can also write data back to source systems once it has been fixed, which is the primary feature missing from the Registry implementation style.
