Data Management solutions help you address today's data problems while giving you a plan for the future. For any organization, data management technology is the fuel behind every process. We design with IT and business collaboration in mind to help you transform big data into big opportunity.
- Data integration solutions involve combining data residing in different sources and providing users with a unified view of these data.
- These process at Tungsten have become significant in a variety of situations, which include both commercial (when two similar companies need to merge their databases) and scientific (combining research results from different bioinformatics repositories, for example) domains.
- Data integration frequency has increased over time as the volume and the need to share existing data explodes. It has become the focus of Tungsten's deliveries, and numerous open problems remain unsolved.
- "Enterprise Information Integration" is the new name of the same thing in our client circles
- Simply put, within data quality management we undertake establishment and deployment of roles, responsibilities, policies, and procedures concerning the acquisition, maintenance, dissemination, and disposition of data.
- We help establish partnership between the business and technology groups which is essential for any data quality management effort to succeed. The business areas are responsible for establishing the business rules that govern the data and are ultimately responsible for verifying the data quality.
- We work with the Information Technology (IT) group which is responsible for establishing and managing the overall environment - architecture, technical facilities, systems, and databases - that acquire, maintain, disseminate, and dispose of the electronic data assets of the organization.
- A typical ERP system as a minimum will have a Customer Master, an Item Master, and an Account Master. This master data is often one of the key assets of a company. It's not unusual for a company to be acquired primarily for access to its Customer Master data.
- We work with organizations on various facets of data like Unstructured, Transactional, Metadata, Hierarchical, Metadata, Master
- Using MDM, you get to decide how to manage by taking into aspects of behavior, data life cycle, cardinality, lifetime, complexity, value and volatility.
- Tungsten's MDM toolkit incorporates steps as detailed below:
- An MDM project plan will be influenced by requirements, priorities, resource availability, time frame, and the size of the problem. Most MDM projects include at least these phases:
- Identify sources of master data. This step is usually a very revealing exercise. Some companies find they have dozens of databases containing customer data that the IT department did not know existed.
- Identify the producers and consumers of the master data. Which applications produce the master data identified in the first step, and—generally more difficult to determine which applications use the master data.
- Collect and analyze metadata about for your master data. For all the sources identified in step one, what are the entities and attributes of the data, and what do they mean? This should include attribute name, datatype, allowed values, constraints, default values, dependencies, and who owns the definition and maintenance of the data.
- Appoint data stewards. These should be the people with the knowledge of the current source data and the ability to determine how to transform the source into the master-data format
- Implement a data-governance program and data-governance council. This group must have the knowledge and authority to make decisions on how the master data is maintained, what it contains, how long it is kept, and how changes are authorized and audited.
- Develop the master-data model. Decide what the master records look like: what attributes are included, what size and datatype they are, what values are allowed, and so forth.
- Choose a toolset. You will need to buy or build tools to create the master lists by cleaning, transforming, and merging the source data. You will also need an infrastructure to use and maintain the master list
- You can use a single toolset from a single vendor for all of these functions, or you might want to take a best-of-breed approach
- Design the infrastructure. Once you have clean, consistent master data, you will need to expose it to your applications and provide processes to manage and maintain it
- Generate and test the master data. This step is where you use the tools you have developed or purchased to merge your source data into your master-data list.
- Modify the producing and consuming systems. Depending on how your MDM implementation is designed, you might have to change the systems that produce, maintain, or consume master data to work with the new source of master data.
