Project ManagementChallenges with aChanging Landscape
1
T political natur o MDM plains the importance o data governance,but governance alone is not enough to undertake an MDM initiative. While large IT
projects in the past, such as customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise
resource planning (ERP), have involved both IT and business teams and required both
IT application implementation and change management, these projects ran in parallel,
with the IT teams ocused on the implementation and the change management team
preparing the users or the system.
Project management or these projects through implementation and delivery has
resided within the IT organization, with the business side providing the requirements.
MDM reverses this paradigm. Business not only owns the requirements, they also own
the data, the ongoing data stewardship and, most importantly, the project management
o the MDM initiative.
Thereore, to address the project management challenges in an MDM initiative,
it is necessary to create a ramework including project management best practices,
technological advances, data requirements and a blend o methodologies rom change
management, business process reengineering and IT application implementation.
Successully delivering projects on time has always been a challenge. Project
management methodologies are well documented and continue to evolve to address
the challenges. The Project Management Institute (PMI) and body o knowledge guide
(PMBOK) are excellent sources o reerence material on the subject. With this in mind,
six key points are vital to the success o your MDM project.

ocus on a data mtodolog.
Prior to MDM, data needs were typically
ullled by each department maintaining
their own silo o inormation and/or
requesting a snapshot o data rom a data
warehouse maintained by IT. Centralized
data was owned and maintained by IT.
Data needs oten lack a methodology or
preparation and analysis. But, at the core
o the methodology is data.
4Bring t popl aspct rigt up ront in an MDM initiati.
Enterprise projects such as ERP involve a lot o change. Change management
reers to the eort it takes to manage people through the emotional ups
and downs that inevitably occur when an organization is undergoing massive
change.4 At the core o change management is people.
The preparation steps or a change management project include executive
sponsorship, selecting a change agent, orming a transition team, perorming
assessment activities and developing a transormational vision. The transitionteam serves as a liaison between the end users and the development teams
and perorms tasks such as implementing processes and training users
o the system. The change agent leads the change project and requires a
mixture o good project management skills to keep projects on track and good
leadership skills to motivate and evangelize or the project with passion.

The crucial steps in the liecycle o an IT implementation project are

MDM is the ramework o processes and technologies aimed
at creating and maintaining an authoritative, reliable, sustainable,
accurate and secure data environment that represents a single
version o the truth.6 This denition reinorces the point that MDM
is a blend o data, processes and technology.
Data implies data requirements, data analysis and data
integration. Technologies are required to provide a data hub; data
proling; data quality; matching/cleansing; extract, transorm
and load; enrichment; and application integration unctionality.Processes are required or the operational workfows and rules or
managing a single version o the truth.
Extended processes are required when integrating the spokes,
such as a marketing database, customer service, ERP and CRM,
with the MDM hub.
So what is at the core o MDM? Weve seen that in change
management it is people, in BPR it is processes and with technology
it is execution. In MDM, it is all o those, plus data and data
ownership. And data ownership brings a lot o politics into the
project management mix.
When embarking on an MDM initiative, the initial step resembles
a change management project where building a team (in this case,
the data governance council), perorming assessment activities
and dening the vision and objectives are the main undertakings.
During this step, the organization should lay the oundation or
the project management o the MDM initiative. As a best practice,
business should have ownership and leadership or the MDM
initiative.
The change agent will come rom the business side, will possess
both project management and leadership skills and will have overall
project management responsibility. At the MDM Summit conerences,
we heard a number o cases where ormer IT olks transitioned to
the business side, and consultants were oten used to assist the
organization in the transormation. In the next step, business asserts
itsel as the owner o the MDM initiative and takes control o the
specications and analysis o data.
With data at the core o the initiative, a methodology or data needs
and ongoing data stewardship or data preparation and analysis will
have to be adopted. As companies already have data, technologies,
business processes and rules or data management, the impact o
the MDM initiative will need to be analyzed. Cross-unctional teams o
business analysts, IT and data gurus will ollow a BPR methodology
and design the to be processes and business rules.
The implementation step will adopt the IT implementation
methodology, and IT will have much clearer objectives within the MDM
ramework.
The nal step in the MDM ramework resembles BPR. The MDM
initiative enters a cycle o continuous measurement and review
as part o the ongoing data stewardship that is undamental to a
successul MDM initiative.
A blend o existing methodologies and best practices are directly
applicable to MDM initiatives. Adopting a ramework will acilitatethe project management o the initiative.
Underlying the MDM initiative is a data governance council.
Data governance is a process ocused on managing the quality,
consistency, usability, security and availability o inormation.7
While data governance is a continuous eort ater the MDM
implementation, it is also a crucial part o a successul MDM
implementation and must be embedded into the project plan.
The best advice on how to include data governance in the project
plan is to include milestones that, when achieved, can be pointed to
as data governance successes. This way the organization sees the
impact o MDM and appreciates its importance when a continuous
post-implementation eort is required.
By adopting existing project methodologies and working data
governance into project plans as milestones, a ramework or the
project management o an MDM initiative emerges that addresses
the political, technological and data stewardship challenges.
No matter how small the initial MDM project is scoped, putting the
MDM ramework in place rom the start will get the project o the
ground successully. Regardless o which approach an organization has
taken to date on an MDM initiative, it is possible to get back on
track once the path orward is better understood and a ramework
is adopted. Reerences:1. Hannah Smalltree. Gartner and Forrester reute master data management system claims.

TOP 5 JUSTIFICATIONS FOR MDM INITIATIveS
1. Catalyzes market leadership and dominance.
2. Provides increased ROI by leveraging and rationalizingexisting inrastructure.
3. Signicantly increases shareholder value.
4. Provides a disruptive technology or new business models.
5. Enables compliance and regulatory reporting.
LeSSONS LeARNeD Q4 2007
Promote MDM as essential business strategy with IT deliverables
to leverage high-value inormation used repeatedly across many
business processes.
Position MDM as an enabler of key business activities such as
improving customer communication and reporting rather than
as an important inrastructure upgrade.
Begin MDM projects focused on either customer centricity or
product/service optimization.
Plan for multientity MDM solutions evolving from early adopter
status into competitive business strategy during 2008-2009.
STRATeGIC PLANNING ASSUMPTIONS
Markt maturation: By 2012, the market or enterprise MDM
solutions (sotware and services) as both strategic initiatives and toreresh aging legacy MDM capabilities will exceed $3 billion (U.S.).
Skills: Throughout 2009-10, skill shortages will greatly infame
project costs as demand or data stewards, enterprise data
architects and individuals with data governance experience
outstrip market supply.
Analtics: During 2008, the convergence o MDM and business

T managmnt omaster datatouches more than just the inormation that
is maintained. By creating data repositories
that refect business unctions, organizations
can develop views o data that give users
access to the inormation required to do their jobs
eectively and eciently.To better understand the business benets o
MDM, it is important to recognize an organizations
general inormation inrastructure and how
silos o data have been ormed within
organizations, creating a splintered
view o what is occurring within the
organization. Then it is possible to
understand the benets o the creation
o a centralized repository o data
regarding both the inormation accessed
and the business benets that go beyond data.
Fracturd Inormation viws
Due to the nature o inormation architecture and the development
o enterprise inormation systems, the general structure o data is
that it exists in silos across the organization. Beore the concept
o centralized data stores, many systems were developed to meet
a business unction without taking into account the big picture.
Consequently, with the addition o new systems, data storage
volumes and the number o transactions grow exponentially. This
means that in many organizations, several disparate systems
exist that contain similar inormation but dont interact with other
relevant systems within the organization. In addition to this lack o
interaction, duplicate data may be processed in dierent systems,
creating duplicate work or end users and dierent data structures.
This adds to the diculty o looking or and identiying like data
across the organization.
The bottom line is that each system only gives a ractured
view o what is occurring within the organization. For instance, a
customer relationship management (CRM) system may not have
all o the account inormation o their customers, rom buying
habits and payment histories to product preerences. Dierent
bits o inormation that reside in disparate systems, when brought
together, create a ull view o the customer. Add to this data quality
eorts to standardize data views and to create a consistent
view o data across the organization, and the beginnings o MDM
are created.
Although MDM solutions give organizations central access
points and a 360-degree view o data and entities, actual ROI is
not always easy to quantiy. Ater all, quantiying better customer
service or identiying a decrease in product cycle times and tying
that to an MDM initiative may not be intuitive or organizations.
MDM Bnfts eplord
There are many benets or organizations choosing to implement
an MDM solution that result rom creating a consolidated view o
data. To identiy the ROI associated with MDM, some key benets
should be highlighted that go beyond the consolidation o data
toward increasing eciencies within organizations and lowering the
cost o doing business.The most obvious benet o customer data integration (CDI)/
MDM solutions is the creation o a single customer view. By creating
a centralized access point o contact to customer, product or other
orms o data, not only are organizations able to gain a better overall
view o business entities and what is occurring with accounts, but
also, data quality eorts become consistent. For organizations
trying to attain one view o entities, the ability to ensure data quality
throughout the organization means that consistency o business
rules, data cleansing and the standardization o business processes
will become an ingrained process within the overall environment.
Despite the act that there is a constant ocus on business
pains and a push to ocus on business rather than data, an
organizations healthy business environment depends upon the
data that supports it. Thereore, having strong data quality eorts
in place helps organizations maintain healthy inormation systems,
identiy how systems across the organization interconnect and
enable better BPM. Although IT benets are important, business
benets are also relevant. Using customer data as an example,
end users can provide better service quicker, thereby increasing
customer retention and satisaction.
Because o compliance and the need to maintain specic data
sets and output on a regular basis, MDM enables organizations to
manage the processes essential to meet compliance requirements.
This, in turn, translates into the ability to plan and budget more
eciently. With a broader understanding o what is occurring within
the organization, nancial processes can oer a more complete
view o the organization.
Finally, building an MDM solution enables organizations to
develop and maintain a strong data governance program. Because
all o the mechanisms have been put in place, data governance
becomes a natural extension o an MDM implementation.
Focusing on valu
Whether by ocusing on business or IT, the values o MDM are
numerous. Actual implementation o an MDM solution is process
and resource intensive as well as continual based on the need
or constant data quality and business process improvements.
However, these eorts enable organizations to have a synchronized
and 360-degree view o the data that helps drive their business
success.

Todays options or ensuring an accurate and
trusted view o data regarding customers, prospects,
suppliers, partners, and sales rely on some orm
o data integration to optimize and link databases
rom CRM, ERP,--data warehouses, customer support
and contact center systems, websites and other
disparate sources. Unortunately, many o these
implementations have only an internal view o
inormation. They attempt to nd the truth about
current conditions by consolidating and resolving
only the data already maintained by the company.
Every day, however, tens o millions o changes
take place within customer, prospect and supplier
organizations, and these changes are typically
invisible to the data integration eort, resulting in
highly incomplete and stale data. Even the largest
companies nd that maintaining a continuously
accurate view o their data is a daunting task. Too
much is happening too ast, and they just dont
have the systems and resources to keep up.
Fortunately, theres a better way.
The FIRST STeP:
AGGReSSIveLy USe ReFeReNCe DATA
Many leading corporations have taken a valuable
rst step toward being able to maintain continuously
up-to-date and accurate data. They have chosen to
use a provider o external reerence data, such as
D&B, to validate and correct their internal data. In
most cases, they periodically re-submit the data to
the external provider so new updates to the reerence
inormation can be incorporated. This reresh also
ensures each entity is accurately identied and
the structural linkages to other entities, such as
subsidiaries and parents, are also accurate.
By treating reerence data as a snapshot,
however, these companies typically rely on irregular,
point-in-time interaction with the external data, and
within days, the accuracy o their internal data
and the value they gain rom that accuracy starts
to diminish.
The SeCOND STeP:
MAKe The DATA AND
The TeChNOLOGy INTeLLIGeNT
In order to maintain continuously accurate data
that can condently be relied upon to drive daily
business processes and decisions, organizations
must nd a way to link their internal data sources
with their external reerence data provider so they
can build a continuously updated set o master
records.
To do this requires a new, tight level o integration
between the internal data integration technology,
the external reerence data, and the data
governance capability. Such an approach results
in consistently better identication o entities
and linkages, enables superior use o the data
or targeting programs, and makes it possible to
introduce capabilities or immediately inorming the
business o any changes to key records, building ar
more agility and responsiveness into the business.
The ThIRD STeP:
TAKe The SIMPLeR APPROACh
I your approach has too many pieces, drains IT
resources, takes too long to implement, and pushes
out return on investment beyond the horizon, it will
be extremely dicult to und, especially in todays
uncertain economy. To get unding or a project
today, you must demand a simple, solutions-driven
approach based on the real-world business need
or the data.
At D&B, we believe that the simple approach
delivers more value aster. Thats why weve built
a pre-integrated layer between the reerence data
and the data integration technology that makes
implementation easy and can begin delivering value
within a matter o weeks. Interested? Visit us at

OveRCOMING COMPLex DATA ChALLeNGeS
The diculty in showing quick success is that
the data and necessary business rules/logic are
very complex. Typically, the integration o data
and ensuring its ftness or business use consume
50-70% o project time and budget. Identiying and
resolving entity inormation relating to customers
and products is based upon extensive reerence
data and knowledge bases that are not easily
replicated. The ability to understand hidden
inormation and relationships buried in data is a
daunting computational challenge.
In addition to correctly identiying inormation,
uzzy matching o inormation within or across
sources is a very complex and difcult task. Matching
dierent sources- or even matching within a source-
is made dicult by inexact representations o the
same thing or similar representations o dierent
things. Normal database joins cant overcome these
natural language variations. Having sophisticated
algorithms that overcome these problems, along
with other common errors like nicknames, alternate
rm names, dierent spellings, and data entry errors
is a key attribute o a reliable and extensible MDM
strategy.
Perormance and accuracy o matching algorithms
is paramount- missed matches or alse matches
create risk, miss potential value, and signicantly
reduce the trust o business data owners. Matching
is one o the hardest yet most critical attributes
in creating trusted master data. Thus matching
accuracy and capabilities should be a critical
evaluation and selection criteria.
FUNCTIONAL CAPABILITIeS
In addition to entity identication and uzzy
matching, there are a number o other key unctions
that create greater business value with master
data. Providing a single integrated platorm that
oers a graphical interace and out o the box best
practice project accelerators dramatically increases
sta productivity and ROI. Oering an interace that
supports the eorts o both business users (who
have unmatched domain expertise) and technical
users (who understand technology capabilities and
limitations) accelerates eorts toward inormation
sharing and collaboration.
Oering these sophisticated yet easily used
capabilities in a very high perormance platorm
ensures that current or uture data volumes will not
overwhelm your MDM system. Technology that can
be deployed in batch mode or initial master data
build and then urther deployed as a common
data service or universal access, extends value.
Accommodating customer inormation whether
B2B or B2C, as well as product inormation is
very useul. Properly handling address inormation
or correct billing or marketing eorts, as well as
geospatial inormation or tasks like tax or risk
assignment, or nd closest applications, adds
urther value to corporate data.
