Webinar with Initiate Systems
“Master Data Management: The Sliding Scale Between Build and Buy”
Replay of the webinar with Dan Power and Marty Moseley
Please join industry experts Dan Power, Founder and President, Hub Solutions, and Marty Moseley, CTO, Initiate Systems, for this webinar where we’ll outline the best practices that have evolved to support organizations in making the critical “build vs. buy” decision.
Master data management (MDM) transforms data integration and business processes. Many organizations are exploring an MDM solution and will eventually have to answer the build vs. buy question. The combination of build and buy for MDM depends on the individual organization’s circumstances, goals and objectives. As MDM has evolved, so have the best practices for considering how much should be built and how much should be bought.
Some key considerations include:
- What are your current data volumes? How will they change in the near and distant future?
- Are customer relationships one-dimensional? Are you concerned with multiple domains of data and managing the corresponding hierarchies?
- Will you implement Web services? How will they be used?
- Do you augment your internal data with information from external vendors?
- What are the time, budget and resource limitations?
- Is MDM intended to eventually provide an enterprise data platform?

Looking for MDM Papers for OAUG COLLABORATE 2010
As I’ve written in the past, Hub Designs is a corporate member of the Oracle Applications Users Group (OAUG), and your trusty author, Dan Power, is the OAUG Education Committee’s track manager for Master Data Management.
Believe it or not, we’ve already started planning the May 2010 conference. So we’re looking for good papers on Oracle’s current MDM products: Oracle Customer Hub, Oracle Product Hub, Oracle Site Hub, and Hyperion Data Relationship Management.
This will be the second year where we will be combining the Customer MDM and Product MDM threads in a single Master Data Management track. Feedback on this was very good at last year’s conference.
Here’s the scoop from the OAUG on the Call for Papers:
