Embed Size (px)

DESCRIPTION

The C-level executives are puzzled rightfully, why CDI projects are so complex, time consuming and too expensive when the subject matter is simply the "CUSTOMER" data. Achieving nirvana for a robust CDI solution is far fetched given the maturity level at present of CDI/MDM technologies. It is in this context that this paper makes an attempt to provide a direction with golden rules [Best Practices], distilled with years of experience to smoothen any CDI implementation. Objectives: 1) Discuss the challenges associated with customer data management 2) Present the Best Practices in managing the customer data 3) Discuss the importance of Data Quality and Data Governance For white paper which has more detailed information of this presentation, please send an email. Email address is listed in the last slide of this presentation.

Executive (CXO) Sponsorship To succeed you must have CXO (executive) support for CDI/CDH initiatives Many projects that do not have CXO support or lost support soon after launching the initiative have failed An increasing number of projects are facing challenges(ReferenceGartner: The Top Seven Trends for Master Data Management in 1Q08) Not only Securing but ongoing support of Executive is very important for long term success Making a Business Case Defining ROI Create Upside potential vs. avoid downside Risks 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 22 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 23. 2. Data Governance Program Establishing Data Governance is all about establishing the framework for the decision rights and accountability for the welfare of the data Data Governance initiative as part of MDM project is a must You must begin the Data Governance in parallel with other parts off the project Data Governance program should be designed at the Enterprise level addressing multiple domains of MDM, not just CDI Base framework established by the time Analysis phase is done, but no later than early design phase2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 23 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 24.

Stakeholders with Enforcement Authority Data Governance Council must have stakeholders that have enforcement authority Otherwise the good decisions that are made by the council get lost resulting in project failures You should include Departmental Heads, Business Unit Leaders, at least one of key CXO Governance council is not the place for some one who does not have enforcement responsibilities. Senior persons with correct background who want to take part or need to take part in CDI initiative that do not have enforcement responsibility can be part of Data Steward Team. 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 26 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 27. 4. Strong Data Stewardship Data Stewardship team is the one facilitating many decisions associated with data elements related to CDI domain What attributes to host in CDI instance? What entities should be brought over to CDI? What is the phasing approach? To what extent standards should be enforced for Source Applications Departmental Politics Identify Data Stewards internally Provide training to internally recruited Data Stewards 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 27 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 28. MDM A foundational Applicationhe who does not layhis foundation beforehand,may by dint of great ability lay them afterwards, yet it must bewith the most extreme labour on the part of the architect andwith the greatest danger to the buildingtaken from The Portfolio - Vol. 7 (1819) 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved.28 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 29. 5. Trading Community Model (Semantic Model) A fresh business perspective with an objective to identify the people and the entities and all relationships between them should be done at an early stage of the CDI project The TCM is not based on any application rather it is focused completely on business This will facilitate the decision of what people, entities and relationships to host in CDI Instance Surprise Factor At several clients, this task revealed surprises: Good portion of people, entities and relationships were never captured in any application in the first place. Of those missing, some are very critical to the business No single person or department has complete view of the Trading community. It often took interviewing about 100 to 200 people from various business units and departments to be able to put this portrait (picture) together 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved.29 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 30.

Design Considerations YourCustomers Business Design Considerations How you Your BusinessIntend to doBusiness? 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved.31 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 32. 6. Design Considerations 1. How does your Customer Operates their business and how are they organized? Has multiple Branches and Divisions Global Player Number of Business Units Centralized vs. Decentralized 2. How do you want to do business with your Customer? Treat Customer as one Entity vs. each branch or division or business unit as separate entity At what level of the Customer do you want to track? Answers to Question 1 & 2 determines how many Parties need to be created for the Customer. 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved.32 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 33. 6. Design Considerations 3. How is your business organized? Global vs. Local Number of business units (lines) Profitability and Accountability tracking within the firm How are Sales teams organized?

Design Considerations 4.How much you want the D&B Data to influence?Model along D&B Data (DUNS Number) Capture customer entities regardless of biz relationship How much to maintain? 5.Does Your Legacy System continue to exist?Do Oracle Customer and Transactional Data need to be interfaced back to Legacy system?Any other systems need Customer and Transactional Data besides Legacy system? How many parties gets created is also influenced by the answer to Q.4 and probably by answers to Q.5 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 34 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 35. 7. Conceptual Customer Model The flexible functionality of a CDI solutions leads into the ability to create same set of customer data in multiple ways For example in Oracle CDH, the TCA allows you to create customer data in many ways If you have a customer with 3 locations Option#1 Site Centric Model Create One party with 3 locations Option#2 Party Centric Model Create Three parties with each party having one location and relate these parties to form a (corporate) hierarchy Option#3 Some where between Option #1 and Option #2Customer Usability Model 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 35 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 36. Option #1 - Site Centric ModelWidely known as Old AR model Release 11 Model 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 36 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 37. Option #2 - Party Centric Model 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 37 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 38. 8. Canonical Designs Adopt an open standard based Canonical Mapping for integrating data between Source Applications and CDH and CDH and Target Applications Open Applications Group (http://www.openapplications.org) The Canonical format should be accommodating needs at enterprise level, not at departmental or a specific application level Global Design with Phased Implementation If needed, start with a standards based canonical model and customize it further Some products support open standards CDH with their Application Integration Architecture (AIA) and Process Integration Packs (PIP) leverages OAGIS standards2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 38 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 39. 9. Define and Enforce Data Security Data security is important for a global CDI solution Carefully evaluate users in terms of their access requirements Utilize built in security functions of the tool Data Sharing and Security (DSS) functionality in CDH Make sure to identify all regulatory requirements for data Security Doing otherwise will lead the firm into regulatory nightmare Recent Examples Lost data BNY Mellon Shareowner Services lost Tapes containing SSN data Hacks TJ Maxx (TJX) pegs data breach tab at $118 Million 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 39 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 40. 10.

Data Quality Metrics No CDI initiative will be fully successful, unless Data Quality objectives are set upfront The quality of the initial data is measured The data can be monitored over a period of time to identify the increase in data quality The project must include the time and resources for defining Data Quality Metrics, Procedures that facilitate the tracking of Data Quality Metrics and reporting of improvement in data quality 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 45 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 46. 15. Hybrid Project Implementation Methodology Many CDI projects often take years to complete to obtain the vision of 3600 view, if at all one reaches that destination Risk of losing executive and/or user support Approach the project with global design but phased implementation Mature the CDI initiative in an incremental manner 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 46 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 47.

Data Standardization It is important to standardize the data for better data quality Use third party tools for data standardization Or build custom routines to standardize the data prior to or as part of conversion Not all tools can help you standardize CDH can not standardize the data But can standardize the data for identifying duplicates only 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 54 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 55. 20. Validate Addresses It is critical to validate and standardize the address data to facilitate better duplicate identification Use the Vendor whose solution is pre-integrated with the tool (For example Trillium and First Logic for CDH) 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 55 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 56. 21. Classify, Classify, Classify !!! It is important to identify all classification requirements of all consuming applications Classify data as many ways as important to the business Classify at an appropriate level Party Level classification is not suitable for Account level entities Classification will facilitate the better intelligence of numbers such as Sales, Receivables, etc. 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 56 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 57. 22. Analytical Use Cases It is important to take into consideration of requirements (in other words use cases) of Business Intelligence and Data warehousing applications, which are downstream applications to CDI application Could be as simple as data that is basis for Segmentation May Influence other analytical requirements 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 57 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 58. 23. Certify Data Provide a means to identify the data that has been reviewed and validated Search results should show the certification status of the data Various capabilities in tools CDH allows to mark the data with custom defined certification levels and reasons Not all tools have this capability 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 58 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 59. 24. Latest Versions The overall MDM is still maturing resulting in change in approaches and functionalities in a product The products in this space are rapidly increasing their functionality as well as fixing bugs Must upgrade to a latest Version Upgrading to R12 of CDH Latest versions provide new capabilities Business Object level integration vs. granular integration Must also apply all latest patches High level of Bugs requiring frequent patch application Spend time upfront in identifying patches in the functionality that you plan to utilize2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 59 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 60. 25. Search UI with robust parameters Should be able to query based on all key attributes Common perception is to provide key identity attributes You should also provide the ability to search based on Source System References Ability to filter the result set by source systems Role based Search Parameters 2009 Rhapsody Technologies, Inc., All rights reserved. 60 Bringing People, Processes and Technologies together 61.
