Master Data Management in Kilimanjaro
Notes from the TechEd 09 presentation, presented by Rob Hawthorne. MDM was going to be in Sharepoint 2010 but is now in Kilimanjaro (SQL Server 2008 R2) MDM is NOT a transactional system MDM implements rules before data is loaded Good tool when there is difficulty coordinating multiple systems CTP and TAP in second half of 2009 (CTP3) www.microsoft.com/mdm Any application can contribute, any application can consume, process is key Master data and reference data are treated as the same thing Can coordinate multiple systems, i.e. JDE, SQLServer, DB2 etc... Performance point planning no longer exists, can do similar work in MDS but with more focus When creating new project, plan for growth but start small Uses model (cube) deployment Sharepoint integration is available MDM will hook into Dynamics CRM MDM methodology - Envision, Plan, Develop, Stabilize, Deploy Process is key; must get proceses right first before building anything
