We have implemented MDM for many clients in different industries, so our knowledge is unmatched. We’d like to give you access to the most experienced MDM team, with a deep understanding of the challenges you face.

  1. Industry analysts talk about various MDM hub styles. How do we make the right choice?
  2. What are the guidelines identifying the data and logic which should go into MDM as opposed to the surrounding applications and the integration layer?
  3. Master data is critical to our operations, so we need a phased approach to migrate from old systems to MDM. How do we ensure a smooth migration without interrupting operations and exposing ourselves to unmanageable risk?
  4. How does InfoTrellis’ Smart MDM™ Methodology divide a release into multiple iterations?
  5. Should we cleanse data party data before, during or after loading it into MDM?
  6. Currently, our systems integration is heavily batch-oriented. Ultimately, we want to enable ourselves to be real-time, or near real-time. How should we design MDM to accomplish this?
  7. Do we need to create an integration layer to expose all MDM services?
  8. Performance of MDM services is our primary concern, especially search and inquiry services. How do we ensure the design for the custom services will meet our performance requirements?
  9. What is the optimal configuration for the application server, database server and operating system to get the best performance for MDM services?
  10. We’ve got a high volume of master data records. What’s the right strategy for the initial load? Can we get enough throughput from MDM Batch and MDM Services to load our master data records in a short time-window?
  11. What is the right test strategy for MDM Services? Are there any tools available for executing these tests?
  12. How can we make sure MDM customizations won’t affect upgradability?
