State Management and BPM Workflow Tools Overview

State Management and BPM Workflow Tools Overview

You can ensure that updated entity data goes through a change-approval workflow before the updated records contribute the Best Version of the Truth (BVT) records. For example, a business process might require that a senior manager review and approve updates to customer data before it becomes master data.
To support a change-approval workflow, the
MDM Hub
and
Data Director
(IDD) integrate with the ActiveVOS
®
Server. Predefined MDM workflows, task types, and roles enable the components to synchronize with one another.
The components support a change-approval workflow in the following ways:
  • The
    MDM Hub
    manages a state on the records in the base object tables that have state management enabled. Unapproved records have a pending state, while approved records have an active state.
  • In IDD applications, authorized business users change entity data and can send updates for approval.
  • The
    ActiveVOS Server
    runs activities within the MDM workflows and creates tasks for business managers and data stewards.
