Master Data Management (MDM)
What is it?
Master Data Management (MDM) is an information integration tool that helps to effectively store, consolidate, and manage reference data (including heterogeneous, duplicate, and intersecting data) from various systems.
CROC’s Services
CROC implements MDM systems based on IBM and Oracle enterprise solutions and a proprietary "CROC NSI" Master Data Management system which combines the advantages of all other solutions in the market.
CROC NSI features:
- A single picture representing various (incomplete or inaccurate) reference data
- Compliance with mandatory requirements with regard to information storage within a single warehouse
- Easy-to-use interface
- Reduction in expenses and no need to coordinate discrete information
- Opportunity for Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) implementation
- Precise analytical calculations using BI application
- Organization of corporate information provision services
CROC NSI implementation usually takes several stages and may include: an initial survey, a statement of work and documentation development, system deployment and setup (including directory and business processes structure), initial directory content filling, directory cleanup and normalization, and the integration with application systems. If necessary, CROC also develops modules for the synchronization of directories with information protection applications.
