3 InfoSphere MDM provides the features and flexibility needed tosolve these datais a subset of all enterprise data. Master data is the high-value, coreinformation used to support critical business processes across the data is at the heart of every business transaction, application, data managementis a discipline that provides a consistent understandingof master data entities (for example, subscriber, policy, and so forth). It is a set offunctionality that provides mechanisms and governance for the consistent use ofmaster data across the organization. It is designed to accommodate, control, andmanage MDM addresses issues of fragmented, incomplete and inconsistent datawith a central repository to store master data across the organization.

4 InfoSphereMDM provides a consolidated, central view of an organization's key business factsand also provides the ability to manage master data throughout its lifecycle byintegrating with each organization's specific business rules and processes forcreating, verifying, maintaining, and deleting master data from the MDM helps organizations realize the full benefit of their investments incustomer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), andbusiness intelligence (BI) systems, as well as integration tools and data of informationInfoSphere MDM is in the midst of the lifecycle of information, as shown in thefollowing diagram: Copyright IBM Corp. 2011, 20141 BillingCustomerservice andcareCustomerself serviceRegulatorycomplianceNew productintroductionFraud avoidanceFinancialplanningEnsuring allsystems haveconsistent andcompleteinformationin real timeMaximizing customersatisfaction andrevenue opportunitiesOptimizing thebusiness withright-timeinformationUnderstanding thechoices and planningwith accurateinformationMarketingand salesinteractionsAuthoringSecurityToolsE nrichHierarchiesOperationalStewardshipSe archEnd-to-endmaster datamanagementBack officesystemsUnified viewThe following diagram shows how InfoSphere MDM pulls together informationinto a unified view across business processes, transactional systems, and analyticalsystems.

7 Which edition and features you usetypically depends on your requirements and environment. The scenarios describeoptions for meeting requirements for particular environments. But becauseInfoSphere MDM is flexible and configurable, you might use a different edition ordifferent features to achieve similar business or organizational goals. Thesescenarios consider a few key industries as examples, however it is not possible tolist specific information for all the industries and domains that can benefit fromInfoSphere , if you obtain InfoSphere Master Data Management Standard Edition,you deploy MDM as a registry implementation. If you obtain InfoSphere MasterData Management Advanced Edition or InfoSphere Master Data ManagementInfoSphere MDM product overview3 Enterprise Edition, you deploy MDM either as a registry implementation or as acentralized implementation.

8 In Advanced and Enterprise Editions, you can haveboth registry and centralized implementations by using hybrid MDM in thisscenario:vYou want to maintain source systems as your system of record for master data,by using virtual MDM capabilities to match and also use physical MDM capabilities to persist and augment a definedenterprise view with more centrally managed data from multiple clinicsWith InfoSphere Master Data Management Standard Edition, a regional healthcareorganization allows its individual clinics to maintain diagnostic and treatmentinformation locally. While the organization maintains a centrally located index (or"registry") of the distributed data. The organization chooses this registryimplementation style because government regulations do not allow healthcareorganizations to modify the data that is provided by clinics.

9 Therefore, theorganization cannot consolidate source records into a single physical record thathappens with a centralized implementation style. The registry style provides acomplete view of a patient across all clinics. At the same time, this implementationenables newly acquired clinics to be integrated quickly into the it MDM architect uses the Patient Hub to quickly set up an MDMenvironment as a registry MDM architect and data steward use the InfoSphere MDM Workbench torun processes that clean and de-duplicate the data. Then InfoSphere MDMstores a consolidated virtual view of each service representatives and clinic staff use InfoSphere MDMI nspector, flexible search, and InfoSphere MDM Enterprise Viewer to performdata stewardship developers create custom business process flows for businessanalysts to analyze and improve patient data.

10 At the same time, theorganization continues to integrate data from newly acquired centralization for insurance policiesUsing InfoSphere Master Data Management Advanced Edition, a property andcasualty insurance company centralizes insurance-policy data for faster and moreaccurate actuarial analysis. The centralization works well for information that iscomplex but relatively static (for example, coverage under multiple policies). Asthe company loads customer data from different sources into the central system, InfoSphere MDM standardizes the party information and merges duplicatecustomer records. This action is based on predefined business rules forsurvivorship. The company expects to integrate new data sources gradually it MDM architect starts with the default party domain to model the insurancecustomers and to set up the MDM environment in a centralizedimplementation MDM architect and data steward can augment the built-in capabilities bydeveloping extensions and additions.
