Derive More Value from Complex, Heterogeneous
Information Spread Across Systems
Organizations face an information challenge that
begins with locating information, understanding what it means,
and getting the information when it’s needed in the form
needed. Add to that the uncertainties of whether the information
can be trusted and then, how to control it. The challenges only
mount if businesses cannot ensure that they have access to authoritative,
consistent, timely and complete information.

Lowering the Total Cost of Ownership of SAP Deployments
Through Enterprise Data Integration: Seven Key Steps to Maximizing
Value from SAP
Implementing and deploying SAP NetWeaver-based applications
such as SAP R/3 and SAP NetWeaver BI (formerly known as SAP BW)
can be long and costly IT projects. Organizations undertake these
projects because they believe they will achieve a rate of return
from the business benefits delivered by the SAP solutions that
will exceed the cost of implementation. Delivering business value
as quickly as possible and minimizing the expense associated with
deploying and maintaining these types of applications are two
critical goals.
Master Data Integration: A Key Enabler of Master
Data Management
This white paper discusses the role that Master
Data Management (MDM) is playing in the
business strategies of many organizations, and in these organizations’
evolution to ondemand enterprises. In order to enable users to
make these strategies a reality, the paper provides the reader
with an important perspective on the value of IBM’s Master
Data Integration discipline and the importance of integration
to successful MDM deployments.
This white paper examines the information integration
necessary for successful MDM. First, we will describe MDM and
why it is emerging so strongly as a topic demanding the attention
of CXOs. Then, we will describe the functional components of a
complete master data management solution with a focus on requirements
for master data integration. Next is a look at alternatives for
deployment and operational architectures. Finally, we will highlight
the critical role of methodology, discuss benefits and review
customer success with MDM solutions from IBM.
