MDM Publishing
October 10, 2007
Recently, I gave a presentation at the Gartner MDM Summit on how enterprise information management (EIM) enables master data management (MDM) solutions. A common question asked by the attendees at the conference was, "What are the capabilities of MDM systems to publish data?" This question was asked in a general sense, of course, because the capability of any given MDM system to publish data will vary from solution to solution.
Let's look at this question and define the term "publish." The purpose of an MDM system is to create, maintain, distribute, and otherwise manage master data. "Distribute" is the key word here. How do you get the information out of an MDM system and distribute it to the applications that need it?
