Chapter 18
MDM Vendors and Products Landscape
Chapter 19
Where Do We Go from Here?
In the previous parts of the book, we described the goals, principles, benefits, architecture, design, data governance, data quality, and implementation concerns of MDM solutions in a way that was independent of specific vendors and their products. This independence from vendors and products allowed us to concentrate on defining Master Data Management and Master Data Governance and how they should be designed, enabled, and implemented.
This part of the book addresses two additional topics and is organized into two chapters. Chapter 18 offers an overview of the key MDM vendors and their products, whereas Chapter 19 provides a brief summary of all the topics discussed in the book from a more prescriptive point of view by focusing on the major reasons why MDM projects fail. Chapter 19 concludes with a discussion on the MDM industry, market, and technical trends and directions of Master Data Management. This discussion is aimed at providing readers with the authors’ insight into what may lie ahead for us on this long and winding road to creating, managing, and effectively using information assets in a global enterprise.
