How MDM is Different

TIBCO MDM offers a set of unique features and capabilities including:

   Scalable Data Model The structure and services of data models can be configured and scaled to gather your needs. This starts by importing an industry-standard model, such as a global data synchronization network (GDSN), an ACORD-based data model, and/or any existing metadata that is required. This can then be increased from the general user interface (UI). Under the hood, TIBCO MDM automatically generates the necessary tables and columns to reflect the logical model formed.

 Multi-Repository Relationships

   A unique capability of TIBCO MDM is that it not only supports relationships with a single storehouse, but also across multiple repositories. Thus, users can create customized and specific relationships between records situated in the same repository or across multiple repositories. Rules and inheritance can create associations between parent and child (e.g., product/ category) or link peer-to-peer (e.g., product/vendor). This can also be both one-to-one and one-to-many. Not only can dealings be built between a vendor and organization, this can also be extended to include products.

Multi-Domain

   TIBCO offers a comprehensive platform for multi-entity master data management (MDM). Able to interlink with business process management (BPM) solutions, service-oriented architecture (SOA) capabilities, and analytics tools, our service-oriented approach delivers the capabilities organizations need to effectively manage master data crossways the enterprise.

 Designed for Change

   Today’s businesses require business process flexibility, and this need for agility will accelerate amid greater demand for more mechanical business processes. TIBCO’s open platform across data, process, and events not only meets the immediate needs of an organization, it has the capability to adjust and scale to support future change, even as new business process solutions are introduced.

 Powerful Out-of-the-Box-Capabilities

   TIBCO MDM delivers master and position data features and capabilities that contain the unique requirements of a diverse range of stakeholders. These capabilities include the ability to define and manage cross entity associations between brands, divisions, vendors, customers, and rules-based or free-text similarity explore capabilities. With our event-based synchronization and process management capabilities, external users and systems can be alerted throughout the process composition. Collectively, these capabilities clean master data and eliminate duplicate data entries throughout the information ecosystem.

Collaborative and Operational MDM

   TIBCO MDM excels at both collaborative and operational architectures. In collaborative environments, a rich set of governance capabilities can facilitate the creation and maintenance of master data. In equipped infrastructures, master data can be served to and consumed by multiple applications and users with very high throughput.

Deep Integration

   As a most important provider of SOA solutions, TIBCO has based its technology on a distributed, open, real-time, and event-driven platform, an approach that is core to our DNA. When used on an SOA framework, our MDM solutions flawlessly influence existing applications and data. They also provide IT with the aptitude to fast roll out new service-driven business processes.

Open Standards

   TIBCO MDM adopts a leave, layer, and influence approach – easily integrating with existing applications and both TIBCO and non-TIBCO infrastructure investments using normal technologies, such as Web services, XML, JMS, GDS and AS/2.

 Proven Methodology

   TIBCO’s teams have winning track records in implementing solutions that require a high degree of scalability in very complex environments. Having worked with all major service, request, and infrastructure providers, our teams bring the deep knowledge expertise and experience required to efficiently support diverse and complex infrastructures.

Customizable Classification

   If users prefer, they can customize classification hierarchy trees based on how they want to view the data via quality values (i.e. by association unit, brand, etc.). Thanks to active updating, when the data changes, the hierarchy tree will mechanically shift in parallel – which means users no longer need to physically move nodes.

Add, Customize, or Extend Services

   As rules and processes are configurable also from the UI or by going straight against the XML, pre-packaged services will reproduce this dynamically.

Hot Deployment Supported

   Changes can be made on the fly and with minimal disturbance to the business. Both useful and highly rough web services, including CRUD services, are provided outof-the box, delivering a greater degree of flexibility in accessing and controlling functions from outside the application. This also yields a master data services platform to support SOA initiative that need reliable access to accurate and consistent data. also, web services are stateless and lightweight for high performance, and support single sign-ons.

Unified Web Services

   A key differentiator of TIBCO MDM is that the same web service can be used across all data entity repositories including a user’s unique attributes, dealings, and other individuality created within repositories. While the web services definition stays the same, the response from the call is different based on the limit values being sent.
