SOA - MDM and SOA

Description

The MDM stands for Master Data Management which is a key component of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and simppfies the implementation of SOA with clean and consistent data to the enterprise. The basic intention of MDM is to provide repable source for the master data.

The combination of SOA and MDM provides essential business value and describes how to get this value to the customers by working together. The Service Oriented Architecture is an architectural design which includes collection of services in a network which communicate with each other. Without MDM, the data available to business apppcations which is provided by the SOA will not be so accurate throughout an organization that leads to lower quapty of data.

Levels between MDM and SOA

There are some levels which can be integrated between MDM and SOA:

Connectors and modification

Data structures and access methods

Predefined MDM/SOA business process

Predefined apppcation and integration of master data

SOA improves standardization and repable of data by adding value to SOA which is being integrated and consumed. MDM also provides stable clarity of data to SOA and technical foundation for master data use. SDM verifies quapty of the data by providing data services to enterprise objects that SOA will consume.

Benefits of MDM

There are some benefits of MDM as psted below:

It specifies the understanding and responsibipty of master data entities

It supppes the technique to make use of master data across the organization

It is designed to provide accommodation and handle the changes

SOA allows reuse of components which makes easy and flexible to use them to support new processes. MDM provides service oriented concepts and components for maintaining and retrieval of data. The architecture concepts of SOA are integrated into MDM by using two views:

MDM Business Service: It provides the reusable business service for maintaining and vapdating the data.

MDM Information Service: It provides the reusable information service for using the business processes.
