What would you say if you found out that most of the reports, dashboards and other information that you were using to run your business are incorrect? Do you think it might impact your ability to competitively run your business, or even make good, sound decisions? If you don’t have confidence that you are making decisions on the right data, you are not alone. Many businesses are awash in data and are unable to state with certainty that the information that they use daily is correct. That calls into question how we think about data and how it's used.

Enterprise Data Management (EDM) is the management of an institution’s fundamental data that is shared across multiple business units, everything from project budgets to donor contacts to employee contact information. You can think of master data as all of the enterprise data (people, places, things and activities) that the institution needs to conduct its business. 

The goal of EDM, consequently, is to ensure the accuracy, consistency and availability of this data to the various business users.

Page 8: Draft Webinar Template Enterprise Master Data Mgt Oct24 2011(V5)

In the webcast, we will discuss what Enterprise Master Data Management (EMDM) is and how strategies built around the EMDM framework can benefit businesses. We will also discuss several key concepts of data management, including:

• What business problems do EDM help address• Data maturity models, their meaning and value to an organization• Data quality strategy and practices• Applying EDM in data warehouse situations• Security considerations when it comes to enterprise master data

We will discuss real life examples of actual companies in multiple industries that have been impacted by a lack of enterprise data management and how implementing EDM standards and practices has improved their businesses.

Business and Market drivers that are elevating the importance of Enterprise Data

• Market (identity and cross sell), serve, and know your customer better

• Improve competitive position

• Reduce technical complexity and cost

• Meet Regulatory requirements

• View data as a valuable enterprise asset

• Manage the explosive growth in data • Leverage advancements in technology and software

A View of Some Executive Drivers

CEO/CFO Signoff on financial statements, quality of the data and the systems that produce them.

CIO

Balance the need to support business growth with cost. Balance founded in efficient architectures, synergistic investment in technology, and availability of good information

CRO Siloed approach to compliance is no longer acceptable

CMO/BU LeaderLeverage customer relationships, manage distribution channels, develop more responsive

products and services, grow profitable revenues and meet regulations of new economy Support rapid change not supported by older databases, and Overcome silo behaviors for cross sell & up sell. Merge external data for total view of customer.

MDM is the management of an institution’s fundamental data that is shared across multiple business units, everything from project budgets to employee contact information. You can think of master data as all of the enterprise data (people, places, things and activities) that the institution needs to conduct its business.

The goal of MDM, consequently, is to ensure the accuracy, consistency and availability of this data to the various business users.

All organizations would benefit greatly from creating a strategy for MDM and implementing an MDM program in light of its current state and an organization's future data and information needs.

What Is Enterprise Master Data Management?

What Is Enterprise Master Data Management?

October 27, 2011

14

• Master Data is the common business data that need to be organizationally agreed and then shared globally inside.

• Companies are awash in data, but which data is the right data to use? Data grows by 50%+ each year.

• Company leadership needs "one version of the truth" on dashboards, reports and in analytical datasets.

• Financial, Internal Audit and Compliance departments should be concerned about controls, availability, integrity and quality of data.

• Conceptually:

Data and information are valuable corporate assets and should be treated as such Data must be managed carefully and should have quality, integrity, security and

availability addressed.

Page 15: Draft Webinar Template Enterprise Master Data Mgt Oct24 2011(V5)

15

To satisfy the Business and Market drivers the Enterprise needs to:

• Align information (data), technology and business strategies

• Clarify roles and responsibilities for enterprise data management

• Develop a common data management language for business and technology

• Identify data uses, values and interdependencies

• Prioritize data improvement efforts with its value, align with existing project priorities, and capture short wins for momentum

• Make relevant, accurate and useable information (data) available to support decision making and business processes

• Ensure data is shared and appropriately secured in our IT systems as define by law and market demands

• Leverage information (data) in business decisions, processes and relationships

Page 16: Draft Webinar Template Enterprise Master Data Mgt Oct24 2011(V5)

Common EDM Issues Found Across Many Enterprises

• Discovery – can not find the right data

• Redundancies – can not create value due many versions of the same data exist in different hands

• Business Intelligence: Integration – can not access, manipulate and combine the data Integrity – can not reconcile data across the enterprise Insight– can not extract value and knowledge from the data Collaboration – can not leverage and share data for market facing activities

• IT Leadership – can not manage or control data growth

• Management – can not make confident business decisions

Page 17: Draft Webinar Template Enterprise Master Data Mgt Oct24 2011(V5)

17

Pragmatic Business Benefits for the Enterprise

• Assurance that common data reconciles across systems and the organization

• Improved data quality across the enterprise

• Reduced complexity in the management of data through standards

• Ability to trace flow of data across systems and the enterprise

• Can scale to meet future business volume – increasing data volumes

• Meet the needs of any project and can extend across the wider enterprise

Page 18: Draft Webinar Template Enterprise Master Data Mgt Oct24 2011(V5)

Keys of a successful EDM Strategy

Accommodates• Changing business requirements• Delivery of tactical projects • Progressive changes in technology

Aligns with other strategic initiatives• Consistent frameworks, blue prints and roadmaps• In touch with organizational culture• Allow for parallel activities

Improves data management competency across enterprise • Integrate data management metrics across activities• Data governance • Solutions which integrate conceptual, logical and physical to insulate for change

A Good EDM Strategy Must Include:

• Vision which aligns business to technology and strategic to tactical

• Executive /C-Level Sponsorship

• Data Governance & Data Stewards for relevant subject areas

• Solutions which are architected versus systems that are build

• Standards, policies, and procedures

• “Data Management” Organization

Data Quality

• Overly complex IT infrastructure • Silo-driven, application area-centric solutions• Slow-to-market delivery of new or enhanced application

solutions• Inconsistent definitions of key corporate data assets

such as customer, supplier, & pricing masters• Poor data accuracy within & across business areas• LOB-focused data with inefficient or nonexistent ability

to leverage information assets across LOBs• Redundant IT initiatives to re-solve data accuracy

problems for each individual LOB

• Uniform communications with customers, suppliers, & channels due to veracity & accuracy of key master data

• Common understanding of business policies & processes across LOBs & with business partners/channels

• Rapid cross-LOB implementation of new apps requiring shared access to master data

• Singular definition & location of master data & related policies to enable transparency & auditability essential to regulatory compliance

• Continuous Data Quality improvement as Data Quality processes are embedded upstream rather than downstream

• Increased synergy for cross-sell & up-sell.

Pre-Governance Governance Provides

Page 22: Draft Webinar Template Enterprise Master Data Mgt Oct24 2011(V5)

22

Data Quality - Governance

• Establish institutional data standards

• Identify and resolve data disputes

• Implement necessary changes to data standards and policies

• Communicate actions to the organization as appropriate

• Ensure accountability of institutional data policies and standards

• Escalate issues to Governance Team as necessary

Page 23: Draft Webinar Template Enterprise Master Data Mgt Oct24 2011(V5)

23

Data Quality

• Definition: timely, relevant, complete, valid, accurate, consistent

• Role of Data Quality

• How to measure Data Quality

• Poor data quality and its cost

• Process efficiency impact as a result of poor data quality

• Potential benefits of new systems not be realized because of poor data quality – if you don't address it up front, you will pay for it!

• Decision making is ultimately negatively affected by poor data quality – many examples available

Page 24: Draft Webinar Template Enterprise Master Data Mgt Oct24 2011(V5)

24

Data Architecture

• Is the transformation of the Data:

Requirements

Operational Characteristics and Attributes

Data Base and Data Structures

Standards and Frameworks

Into a Physical instantiation – the Data Ecosystem

• All Architectures are based on the universal truth that Form follows Function and in this instance it is the physical Form of the Data Ecosystem Dimensions – which are defined in the Data Maturity Model

Page 25: Draft Webinar Template Enterprise Master Data Mgt Oct24 2011(V5)

25

Data Operations: Security & Privacy

• Information Risk Management (security) is a process that identifies risk to all information assets and provides an approach to control and mitigate risks.

• Need to consider impact of loss, alteration or exposure of information to the organization.

• Privacy of Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

• To start the process, perform an analysis of risks by:

Identifying all information assets that are important (data classification) Assign a value and important (data classification) Looks at threats and vulnerabilities Measure the risk to assets Come up with a game plan that is economically feasible to protect assets

Page 26: Draft Webinar Template Enterprise Master Data Mgt Oct24 2011(V5)

26

Data Operations: Data Warehouses

• What is a Data Warehouse? • Issues that can occur in Data Warehouses and attempting to apply EDM principals

• Role of EDM in the creation of Data Warehouses

Consistency of Semantic and Syntax Translation and normalization Common language, edit and validation

• What should I do?

Create a Data Warehouse Data Maturity Model Asses your level of Data Maturity at both the:

Operational Data Warehouse level of abstraction Create an Action Plan to mitigate identified issues and deficiencies

Page 27: Draft Webinar Template Enterprise Master Data Mgt Oct24 2011(V5)

27

EDM requires Business & Technology to Work in Concert

• Information/data management is a shared responsibility between data management professionals in IT and business data owners representing the interests of the data producers and data consumers

• Business data owners are concerned with:

Definition and value of the data Data quality (data is useable at deferent times and different degrees of accuracy) Data stewardship (roles and responsibilities vary) Availability and sharing of the data

• IT is the custodian of the data and responsible for the systems which store, maintain, process and deliver the data

Page 28: Draft Webinar Template Enterprise Master Data Mgt Oct24 2011(V5)

Enterprise Data Management Reference Model

28

• Model is based upon multiple dimensions

• Core areas for the evaluation process include and are not limited to:

1. Data Governance and Strategy

2. Data Platform3. Data Operations4. Quality Management

• Each business will have a specific set of dimensions and definition of target long term maturity levels, as industry information management needs vary.

Standards and Meta Systems

• Standards are ubiquitous and necessary components of all civilizations – they are the warp and woof of civilized life

• Types of standards in everyday life:– Dictionaries– Grammars– ANSI / ISO

You use them every time you to the Super Market, the Auto, Plumbing and Electrical Supply storeEvery time you go to the Bank, Use a Credit Card or use the WEB or play a song on you iPod

Page 33: Draft Webinar Template Enterprise Master Data Mgt Oct24 2011(V5)

33

Standards

• Where do standards come from?

• They come from groups of people who need to communicate and make themselves understood

• For economic reasons– Trade across countries– Trade across companies

• Examples:– Samuel Johnston and the English Dictionary– Otto Von Bismarck and DIN– UCC (Uniform Commercial Code)

Page 34: Draft Webinar Template Enterprise Master Data Mgt Oct24 2011(V5)

34

Summary

• Today’s increasingly complex business environment is placing greater data needs on the enterprise e.g.

– 360° view of the customer – More demanding regulatory and compliance reporting

• Addressing these needs requires an enterprise to manage its data as a cross organization asset

• A strategy which combines business and technology to develop and deploy a holistic Enterprise Data Management framework
