Gather all production systems experts at one project
Importance of Master Data Management systems are growing during time. Their value is especially important during current explosion of demands toward company information. Gather all experts exactly like hen gathers at one place all eggs during nesting time. Join all experts from production/transaction systems together, lock them in a room and give them food and water. They have to make mappings between own system and neighbor systems in code Master Data Management system.
Production systems experts
Mapping data between transaction systems are essential additional information for quality information flow. Without it restoring business logic in business intelligence layer is not possible. Reports throughout two or several transaction systems can not be made without code mappings. Current report trends tend to be cross modular. Reports do not report from only one information system.
One expert knows what happens in his system, how codes are made, their logic and especially their hierarchy. But one expert can not map alone codes between two production systems. Expert needs counterpart expert from other system to make mutual mapping. Only exception is if expert covers administration of both production systems.
Here are the vital steps for proper reporting processes in complex information environments:
- Secure Master Data Management software
- Gather all experts together on a project
- Force them to make mappings
- Build pull procedures for importing codes from production systems
- Build push procedures toward production systems
Code Master Data Management is essential for every big company and it has to be stuffed with all necessary mappings. Master Data Management needs to be only one and it has to be centrally administrated by many administrators, information system experts.
