Build MDM on a Foundation of Strong Data Governance

Building or purchasing a Master Data Management (MDM) solution will not solve master data problems on its own. Employee behavior and organizational processes need to be changed first. Assemble a data governance group to drive the organizational change necessary for MDM success.

Note
 

Take a Phased Approach to Master Data Management

For many organizations, transactional hub architecture represents the ideal Master Data Management (MDM) solution. However, it may not be possible or necessary for some environments given the cost and complexity of this project. When appropriate, IT managers should take a phased approach and start the project with a solution that fits their current needs.

Brief
 

Build SOA on a Foundation of MDM

Service oriented architecture (SOA) promises to provide businesses with flexible applications that can be quickly adapted to meet evolving business. However, successful SOA projects must be built on a solid foundation of quality data. Solve data quality problems in advance by starting an SOA project with master data management (MDM).

Note
 

Finding a Master Data Management Architecture that Fits

A critical component of any master data management (MDM) project is finding the appropriate architecture to support the solution. Making the right choice requires an understanding of the standard architectures and their associated benefits and drawbacks. Find an MDM architecture that will address business needs and fit the existing IT environment.

Access of Evil: MS Database a Very Real Compliance Risk

IT managers fear Microsoft Access because of its poor security controls and its role as a substitute for bona fide enterprise applications. CEOs and CFOs should fear Access as well because it presents a deficient internal control that could be spotted by SOX auditors. Rein in unsanctioned MS Access applications in the enterprise to improve security and mitigate the risk of material weaknesses.

Note
 

How to Lock Down Data Privacy at the IT Worker Level

Since IT personnel have greater access to data than non-IT workers, the impact and risk of data theft committed by IT employees tends to be higher. Data integrity and security must begin with solid data privacy principles and practices. Align the enterprise's access controls with a privacy mindset to mitigate threats of data loss.
