Integrating Data Governance & Big Data with MDM Business Processes
Sunil Soares, Founder & Managing Partner, Information Asset

Big Data includes unusual types of data such as Twitter, Facebook and cell phone GPS signals, to name a few.  Clearly, organizations of all sizes must apply the principles of metadata, data quality, security and privacy, and information lifecycle management to Big Data.   Additionally, European Data Governance teams must consider emerging regulations that address the privacy aspects of Big Data such as utility smart meter readings and geolocation data.  Moreover, to be effective and relevant Big Data mandates high-quality master data on customers, materials, assets and vendors so that Data Governance aligns both producers and consumers of data.  Lastly, Business Process Management (BPM) is critical to addressing data quality issues at the source and to help drive business ownership.  Business users may say that IT owns the data but they will never concede ownership of critical business processes to IT.

At the end of this session, you should be able to articulate to senior management why MDM, Data Governance, Big Data and BPM should not exist in silos.  Some of the topics to be covered in this session include the following:

  • Establishing the business value and architectural dictates to leverage the emerging alignment between Data Governance and Big Data
  • Applying master data resolution to align Big Data analytics with MDM
  • Leveraging BPM as the "forgotten glue" to unify data and processes

Field Reports for 'Top 15' MDM, RDM & Master Data Governance Solutions
Aaron Zornes, Founder & Chief Research Officer, The MDM Institute

Evaluating MDM, RDM and Master Data Governance solutions is comparable to purchasing your first home – too many new variables, lack of transparency in the pricing, and high pressure sales tactics. On top of this flux, IT executives have to contend with the marketing dogma of ongoing “stack wars” among the mega vendors and the ego-centric “we are the world” viewpoints of MDM, RDM and Business Process Management (BPM) vendors.  To cope during 2013-14, many large enterprises will increasingly mandate a unified approach to both data and process architecture/design/ management tools. This session will focus on the “why” and “how” of MDM, RDM, and Master Data Governance technical evaluations by providing insight into:
  • Understanding the pros & cons of the dominant architectural models & evaluation criteria – e.g., pro-active Data Governance, identity resolution, hierarchy management, scalability, big data & social MDM capabilities, etc.
  • Assessing the vendor landscape – e.g., registry, data hub, ultra-hub, EAI/EII, portals, SOA-based web services, data service provider, system-centric BPM, human-centric BPM, etc.
  • Applying a rigorous methodology to product evaluations for both mega vendor solutions & more pure play solution providers

Building the Business Case for Data Governance
Anwar Mirza, Financial Systems & Data Governance Director, TNT Express

In the last decade, pioneers of Data Governance have struggled to justify the allocation of business resources, systems, time and money in terms of bottom-line benefits. Facing similar challenges to Corporate Sustainability & Responsibility initiatives, sponsors of Data Governance face an uphill struggle to gaining support and momentum from within their own organisation. This session shows ways of presenting the formal and informal business case for Data Governance startup programmes and will
  • Help attendees to decide their approach for developing the best financial business case for their circumstances
  • Give pros & cons of different approaches - e.g. CAPEX vs OPEX, one large business case or several small ones
  • Demonstrate examples of how to calculate benefits for different Data Governance components
  • Provide general tips & tricks on present costs & benefits within the business case

Multi-Entity MDM for the Enterprise
Bert Hooyman, Enterprise Information Architect, Royal Philips Electronics

Philips (Royal Philips Electronics) is in the midst of executing a corporate strategy for MDM aiming to harmonize product and customer data along with five other master data domains from across its three main business units-- Consumer Lifestyle, Healthcare, and Lighting.  As one of the largest multinational electronics companies in the world (122,000+employees, 60+ countries), enterprise-level IT programs are significantly challenging in both complexity and scale.  One of the ongoing primary objectives is to reduce the cost of non-differentiating IT through standardization of " Information as a Service".   All master data collections will become actively managed "system of reference" data hubs via a Teradata appliance with management processes on top of them.  Both product and customer data will be continuously synchronized with a variety of production systems in the IT landscape.  Realizing that ability to manage master data is not a differentiating capability of Philips, earlier plans to select best of breed solutions for various master data domains is no longer the strategy.  The plan is now to operate MDM and Data Governance processes on top of service-enabled data collections hosted on the enterprise data warehouse (Teradata).  In this presentation, we will discuss:
  • Establishing an enterprise architectural pattern for standardization of near real-time "Information as a Service" via the Information Factory (Teradata central information storage hub)
  • Operationalizing a generic service interface and the use of business-friendly data models to support data management workflows that are business consumable vocabulary rather than technical jargon
  • Socializing & enforcing the mandate that "information is an asset, not a by-product of some process" -- with trusted completeness & timely nature

Establishing Reference Data Governance in the Large Enterprise
Petter Larsen, Head of Data Governance, DNB
Thomas T. Thykjaer, Lead MDM Consultant, Capgemini
In 2009 DNB initiated a program that will help the bank move from a silo-driven business and IT organization to becoming “ONE – Group” and "One IT". The following Quality Enterprise Data (QED) program focused on establishing enterprise data and definitions with reference data management as one of the main projects. The new reference data management solution is based on establishing an enterprise master for classifications and necessary data governance routines. The solution is based on IBM’s InfoSphere RDM Hub and was put into production in late 2011.  In this session best practices will be presented for activating an effective governance regime for reference data, within the framework of DNB’s enterprise Data Governance program. In the context of governance, reference data should be viewed from two distinct perspectives: as a data domain to be governed, and as a tool to assist in the governing of other data. A Data Governance program relies on common reference data sets – classifications, code sets, hierarchies, taxonomies, etc – to categorize the enterprise’s structured and unstructured information. Hence the governance of the reference data sets themselves becomes a critical activity for the program and as one of the primary initial project when the program is established.  Specific topics include:
  •  Determining the Data Governance toolbox-- structures, models, processes, roles & measures
  •  Delineating the Data Governance matrix by discipline as applied to structured (& un-structured) data domains
  •  Establishing the reference data architecture & management tools-- storage, maintenance, & usage of enterprise reference data within an RDM solution

MDM Best Practices for the Global Enterprise
Andy Walker, MDM Lead, BP

A successful MDM strategy results in actionable, accurate information on business partners and materials so that you can increase revenue, reduce risk and improve compliance. Regardless of your platform, robust business processes for maintaining quality data are critical to MDM. You need to be able to readily identify existing business partners’ relationships and to understand new or potential relationships, as well as to adapt to the dynamic and inter-related nature of customers and vendors. In this session, we'll feature how global energy leader BP has implemented an MDM solution with access to high quality, integrated customer, vendor and material data.  Key take-aways include:
  • Understanding the key principles of MDM including business partner authentication & lifecycle management
  • Communicating the business benefits to be derived from a major MDM implementation:
  • Implementing a practical  MDM program across an organization, balancing the centralized & consolidated MDM models

BEST PRACTICES: Incremental MDM as a Proven Strategy
Stephen Parry, Enterprise Data Management Practice Lead, Cognizant Technology Solutions


Managing Enterprise Data than simply MDM as a tool choice.Rather than attempt to "boil the ocean" savvy organisations are increasingly making smaller, serial investments in MDM-related areas such Data Quality and Data Governance.  Whilst these are all linked, they may not need to be at the outset.  In fact, industry experience has often shown that to do so may cripple them withthe burden of too much expectation.  This session will introduce a fresh approach to these inter-related business programs by discussing recent experiences with a ‘layered’ approach. The business benefits of such an approach will be discussed.  Topics to be highlighted include:

  • Recognising& leveraging the relationships amongst Data Governance/Glossary, Data Quality, Reference Data, & Data Migration with MDM
  • Delivering incremental successes via governance in each of the above five MDM-related areas -- an Enterprise Data Management 5 layer model
  • Promoting the benefits of "shared investment in data"  as early as possible in the lifecycle

Better Information for Better Business Decisions: How Data Governance Ensures Confidence through Context
Sean Crowley, Senior Product Solutions Manager – Data Quality, Informatica
Investment continues to rise in the areas of data integration, analytics and Master Data Management. Unfortunately, all too often these investments quickly overrun their allocated budgets and timeframes. As a result, organisations fail to maximize their return on data.

The effectiveness of any data management strategy, whether it’s focused on analytics, operational data integration, MDM, Hadoop, or a combination of all of these can essentially be judged based on three criteria:
  1. Do the users have access to the information they need?
  2. Do the users trust the data?
  3. Does the building and maintaining of the system provide measurable returns for the business?

In order to ensure that organisation derive the maximum value from the time and money spent building, updating and maintaining their information landscape, organisations need to build upon a strong foundation of data quality and data governance.
This presentation will provide details on effective data governance strategies that you can put in place now to help your organisation make better business decisions. Several case studies will be presented to detail how other organisations are becoming more contextually-aware of their information and are making more effective decisions based on information that is consistent, accurate, and understood by the business users.

Business in the Driver’s Seat for MDM- Integrating MDM with BPM
Jesper Persson, Program Manager - Global Process Office MDM, Tetra Pak
Tetra Pak is a multi-national company of Swedish origin and is the world's leading food processing and packaging solutions company - operating in more than 170 countries with over 22,000 employees.  In 2005, Tetra Pak faced many of the typical/common MDM challenges, e.g., different parallel MDM models, lack of processes, incomplete and scattered ownership, no master data quality metrics, and issue-driven data cleansing.  Different to what many companies did at this time, Tetra Pak approached it as a business problem rather than as an IT problem.  In 2006, the company initiated a business transformation programme called “Global Master Data Initiative” (2006-2009) which was sponsored by the Global Leadership Team (C-level) and successfully turned the situation around. Best practices that will be shared in this session include:
  • Integrating MDM as a natural part of business processes - a logical step as business requirements drive the need for master data
  • Evolving from master data maintenance into master data management – better business performance & higher master data quality with fewer resources
  • Following up on master data quality as part of business process KPIs

FUTURES FORUM: The Impact of Big Data, Cloud & Social MDM

Steve Jones, Capgemini
Navin Sharma, Dir. of Product Management - Data Management Portfolio, Pitney Bowes Software, Inc

"Big Data" is now a key asset that needs to be proactively managed.  As IT organisations discover the value of Big Data analytics, most will need to significantly improve their MDM capabilities simply to cope with a massive amount of information that many of them will find too difficult to manage otherwise.  Not only are many enterprises beginning to evaluate Big Data solutions to solve their business integration challenges.  Just as importantly, many organisations realize that Big Data will represent a huge dimension of their "360 degree view of X" as parties/products/services must be uniquely identified via MDM to enable Big Data analytics to be accurate and effective.. This will help deliver the "unified digital experience" via , omni-channel connected marketing, social engagement, and prescriptive insight.  Clearly, Big Data is a major IT initiative being undertaken by a large number of market-leading global 5000 enterprises.  Big Data requires MDM and Data Governance to be effective.  And MDM requires Big Data to accurately provide full-spectrum views.  This panel will focus on  the answers to such issues to help understand the relationship and dependencies between these key technology trends and MDM by discussing:
  • Understanding the requirements for "master data resolution" to enable Big Data analytics
  • Determining the ROI, technical challenges & business drivers for the various Cloud-aware/enabled permutations
  • Preparing for the next generation of social network-driven MDM capabilities such as graph databases

Business Opportunities for Integrating Customer Data
Matthias Roggendorf, Senior Expert, Business Technology Office, McKinsey & Company
Customer data is a key asset for most organisations, yet the quality and level of integration of basic customer data is often still poor.  Data is managed locally in lines of business and even within business units no integrated view of the customer exists.  This situation cannot be solved from within a business unit nor by the IT department, but instead requires a top management-driven approach to develop a business strategy around how customer data will be used and leveraged in a possible future state 3-5 years out.  MDM is an integral part of the solution, but requires careful integration into the overall future state from a business and technology perspective.  McKinsey & Company has developed a distinctive approach on data and analytics-driven business transformation, which helps corporations to make the most of their customer data.  A detailed case study of a North American bank will be presented, which demonstrates the applied solution elements, including the bank-wide customer MDM solution.   Topics to be discussed include:
  • Crafting a  management-driven business strategy centered on master customer data & analytics
  • Communicating the business rationale for data & analytics-driven business transformation
  • Defining the 3-5 years out MDM "future state" from a business & technology perspective

Analytical Data Governance
Ajay Tripathi, Manager Analytics Practice, Deloitte
Establishing and measuring the effectiveness of Data Governance controls is a complex but achievable task. This presentation outlines the key considerations for designing and implementing an analytical Data Governance approach. If you can measure your success in delivering a strategic Data Governance solution, you can manage it more effectively. There are several key elements of Data Governance described in this paper which need to be considered to overcome the challenges which most senior executives and their data management teams face today. Some of these elements include:
  • Defining data governance value expectations & success criteria
  • Tailoring the Data Governance programme to meet the value expectations  
  • Defining the metrics to measure success

With its multiple, evolving business lines and brands, mastering Customer data to provide accurate reporting and analytics, improving customer experience and optimizing relationship marketing for current and new service opportunities mandated a focus on master data governance.  Accurate decision making is fundamental to achieving the objectives of MDM.  However, without a comprehensive enterprise wide vision and approach in place it can be difficult to meet these objectives.  Information integration and governance policies, processes, and technologies to monitor and ensure quality of data are critical to ensuring that the most accurate information is consistently available to and used by the organization at all times.  In this session, you will understand the benefits of how:

  • Having a clear vision and approach to information governance drives Master Data improvement
  • Implementing Information Leadership, including an Enterprise Information Council and Enterprise Information Architecture,  are necessary components of mastering information assets such as Customer, Product and reference data
  • It is important to implement practical & incremental data governance strategies & technologies while gaining a unified, complete, consistent, standardized & secure view of customer master data
  • Building an effective governance organization enables more successful MDM and data quality
  • Understanding your information assets allows you to drive master data improvement

EXPERTS PANEL: Best Practices in Master Data Governance
Moderator: Aaron Zornes, Founder & Chief Research Officer, The MDM Institute
Panellists:
Petter Larsen, Head of Data Governance, DNB
Johan Greyling, Director, Finance Process Change, Colt Technology Services Group


Data Governance is vital to the success of MDM projects – both initially and ongoing.  During 2013, enterprises will increasingly mandate that “no MDM program be funded without the pre-requisite Master Data Governance framework”.  Moreover, “proactive Data Governance” that includes entire master data lifecycle will increasingly be mandated as a core phase zero or phase one deliverable of most large-scale MDM projects.  Given the substantial investment required for MDM programs, the co-dependence/synergy of MDM and Master Data Governance must be given close scrutiny – not only to contain costs, but also to insure success.  Beyond committees, councils and stewards, what is the real work to be done, who should do it and what is the impact if not done properly?  This panel will focus on  the answers to such questions to help understand the relationship and dependencies between MDM and Master Data Governance by discussing:
  • Communicating to executive management why Data Governance is essential as phase zero deliverable & determining initial ROI of such investments
  • Determining criteria for evaluating the currently marketed data governance capabilities of mega vendors, specialist vendors, & systems integrators/consultancies (outlining the key capabilities to demand of Data Governance solution providers in next 12-18 months)
  • Establishing metrics for measuring the success of an ongoing Data Governance program

PIM for European Data Brand Management
Cecil Stewart, SPMO Program Manager Information Management, ASICS Europe
Ivo-Paul Tummers, Director, JIBES bv
ASICS Europe is the European arm of Japanese athletic footwear, apparel, and accessories maker ASICS Corporation.  ASICS' products are sold at regional and national retailers throughout the continent, by on-line vendors  and through their own retail outlets.   In their pre-PIM history, ASICS knew they did not have good control of product data, yet they lived by product data as that's their business.  They knew existing processes could not continue to run on a collection of Excel spreadsheets as it was unmanageable, leading to errors and it took too much time and wasted effort to create/maintain/manage their item master data.  At same time ASICS suffered much lost time, they were not able to focus on using the data in the key business processes.  Simply put, there were too many people maintaining too much data-- with not enough people using the data for product marketing and sales.  It was therefore ordained that ASICS needed to systematically get away from the multitude of spreadsheets across multiple departments and countries .. . as well as determining which spreadsheet to use and who to maintains its data.  ASICS decided to institute much needed formal processes to manage the data and make it more productive for ASICS as they realized they could not grow the business based on the bespoke fragile infrastructure.   In late 2010, the company selected a commercial PIM solution for its brand management initiatives and began their MDM journey.  This session will outline how an organization can establish a product information management (PIM) strategy using commercial-off-the-shelf software to drive brand management by discussing insights related to:
  • Focusing on the differentiating features of possible PIM/MDM platforms -- multi-level hierarchies, NPI-like governance workflow, ...
  • Growing the master data solution business unit by business unit in a manageable evolution
  • Adapting the UI to empower/enable the non-technical users to manager *their* data by themselves

A Single View of Product from Multiple Acquired Systems
Farrukh Hasan, Information Strategy & Governance Architect, Virgin Media
Julian Vercoe, MDM Specialist, Virgin Media

Virgin Media has in excess of 4.8 million residential customers and provides broadband, TV, home phone and mobile phone.  Its cable network covers over half of all UK homes and the company also provides services off-network and to businesses.  As a result of several mergers, the fast growing company needed to integrate customer, product, marketing campaign, pricing and service centre data from customer service, billing, and finance systems to provide a "360° view of customer".  Key to this was providing a clean, consolidated and centralised product catalogue that could underpin an integrated view for analytics of customer service, billing and finance information from the central data warehouse. This session will provide insight into that journey to empower the business to master their own data by discussing:
  • Applying MDM to create & maintain product hierarchies across multiple billing systems
  • Leveraging workflow via a model-driven, auto-generated UI for data mapping & authoring  of local & global mapping
  • Embedding MDM into business processes
