Comment on Five Key Factors in Architecting a Master Data Solution by czamarth (@czamarth)

czamarth (@czamarth) — Tue, 22 May 2012 08:05:45 +0000

I am not sure with the statement “probabilistic matching is more effecient and realistic then deterministic”. I would say both approaches have pros and cons and one is not superior to other. The best way is usually to combine both if you can.

From what sources you come up with such statement?

Comment on First Look at Oracle Fusion MDM Hub by Dan Power

Dan Power — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 16:11:48 +0000

Hi Kundan,

Thanks for your kind words. Choosing between the Siebel UCM and Oracle CDH products for Customer MDM is a tough choice. The Oracle “playbook” typically recommends Siebel UCM for companies that have Siebel CRM in place and are service-oriented or consumer-focused business. Typically Oracle CDH is a better fit for people that have Oracle E-Business Suite in place or are manufacturing or product based businesses.

That having been said, Oracle has not updated the Release 12 version of CDH very much in the last few years, so Siebel UCM has been the flagship product in the Apps Unlimited family in terms of innovation. Most of Oracle’s development resources have been focused on Fusion MDM, but the remainder was definitely focused on Siebel UCM rather than CDH.

One thing to keep in mind is that the underlying data model for Fusion MDM for Customer is based on the TCA data model in Release 12. So the data model layer will be very familiar to R12 resources.

I would think seriously about using Fusion MDM itself in your footprint, given that it’s been shipping for a while now and you have both Siebel CRM and Oracle EBS in your footprint. That would give you the benefit of getting your internal resources familiar with Fusion well ahead of your having to upgrade your EBS instance.

Hope these ideas are helpful!

Hi Dan,

At the outset, thanks for providing a nice overview of what to expect out of Fusion MDM.
While reading this article and few others authored by you around Fusion MDM, I am thinking if I have to choose between Siebel UCM and Oracle CDH for R12 implementation (with Siebel CRM OnDemand and Oracle E Biz in the solution footprint) , which one should I go for? I read another article by you and there you commented “The E-Business Suite based hubs (Customer, Product, Supplier and Site) on Release 12.x are being positioned to align better with Fusion MDM”.. Can you elaborate a little on that?
Regards,
Kundan

Comment on Seven Steps to Data Quality, by Kuppusamy Bhaskar by datadrivenservices

datadrivenservices — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 16:31:07 +0000

Thank you for your comment Dhaval!

In my experience top down approach is more effective as business stakeholders get involved early and the data quality process can evolve sooner without going too far down the wrong direction.

Thanks again!
Bhaskar

Glad you liked the article, Dhaval. I think Bhaskar hits on some great points and we’re looking forward to some other new articles that he’s working on.

Great article! Congrats to both Bhaskar and Dan for having published this. This is so true in our engagement – we started off with an executive asking for data metrics and started collecting them without realizing whether the metrics that we were collecting made any sense. The approach, as prescribed in here, should have been to understand pain points and measure those pain points via metrics on the data set that we have.

Kudos on presenting this!

Comment on Where Data Governance Stops and Master Data Management Starts by What’s the Difference Between DG and MDM? | DATAVERSITY

What’s the Difference Between DG and MDM? | DATAVERSITY — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 17:12:00 +0000

[...] A recent article takes a look at the practices of data governance and master data management and clears up some misunderstandings about the two. It begins, “The gray area between DG and MDM is real and (artificially) exists due to a lack of definition, maturity, or understanding within an organization. Considering that methodologies for MDM and DG have many variances, it would be a challenge to hit on every possible permutation of DG and MDM to define the dividing lines. Doing so would make for a long and painful read and probably be published under a self-help genre for curing insomnia. Instead, let’s generalize on the goals of each and try to find that utopian business model where there is complete harmony.” [...]
