Continuing on a series of live tweetports from the Gartner Application Architecture, Development and Integration Summit in Las Vegas, I attended Andrew White’s presentation: Why Master Data Management Should Drive Application Architecture and Integration. My notes follow.
- Why #MDM should drive application #integration - Andrew White aka @MDMCentral #GartnerAADI
- @MDMCentral starts with description of a nightmarish IT week... #GartnerAADI
- Need to link application and data #GartnerAADI
- We spent millions and millions to build silos, dozens, hundreds of them. How do we ensure consistency of data across them? #GartnerAADI
- There is only one author for a given piece of data at a given time. #GartnerAADI
- Information strategy page does not exist on Wikipedia. Maybe an expert tried to create it but wikipedians didn't like it. #GartnerAADI
- Authority model and business rules at intersection between apps and integration #GartnerAADI
- Without the app, a process is just a nice drawing on the wall. #GartnerAADI
- The data that is widely reused by multiple apps likely constitutes #MDM data. #GartnerAADI
- A business metric is not a technical metric! Revenue for new product ok. Number of dedup'd records not. #GartnerAADI
- #MDM is the place to start an information governance strategy. #GartnerAADI
- Comparing the life cycle of the master data model and the meta data model. #GartnerAADI
