, the first thing you do is assemble an implementation team. After the team implements
Multidomain MDM
, the data stewards and business users can access and manage the master data.
Implementation Team
The implementation team includes technical specialists, business analysts, implementers, and MDM administrators. Members of the implementation team determine the goals and requirements for the project. They plan the
Multidomain MDM
installation environment, topology, features, data model, data flows, and rules.
Technical specialists
Technical specialists set up the hardware and software environment, install
Multidomain MDM
, and might integrate
Multidomain MDM
with other applications. Technical specialists include system administrators, database administrators, application server administrators, and software developers.
Business Analysts
Business analysts are people who understand the business and have familiarity with the source systems that will provide data to
Multidomain MDM
. They can define the requirements for rules and data flows that reflect the needs of the business.
MDM Implementers
Implementers design, develop, test, and deploy the
Multidomain MDM
implementation. They gather requirements from other members of the implementation team to ensure that the
Multidomain MDM
implementation will meet the needs of the business. An implementer creates the data model, match rules, data flows, and all other requirements.
MDM Administrators
MDM administrators create and assign user roles and update
Multidomain MDM
as required. They should participate in the design of the implementation so that they can maintain it afterwards.
MDM Users
MDM users are the people who use and administer the
Multidomain MDM
implementation.
Data Stewards
Data stewards are responsible for data quality. Data stewards review similar records, merge duplicate records, and approve changes to the master data.
Business Users
Business users interact with master data through a
Data Director
application or a third-party application. Some business users might have permission to edit and create master data. Others might participate in a review workflow, where they have to approve changes and additions to master data. The MDM administrators assign roles to business users to control their access to master data.
