Multienterprise Master Data Management (MDM)

Sharing data with your trading partners is an essential part of doing business, and data quality is key. A data quality problem is much more challenging when it comes from outside your four walls. When the source of the bad data is your partner, it puts your data at risk.

Businesses constantly struggle with errors due to part number, SKU, or GTIN mismatches, continuously changing fulfillment locations, out of date contact information, missing product attributes, and manual scorecarding. They are lacking the governance and workflow rollout capabilities needed to effectively manage their data and their trading community.

Inovis Multienterprise Master Data Management (MDM) is a set of capabilities to synchronize and managed data shared for the ordering, shipping, and the definition of core B2B trading information, such as sender/receiver ids, contacts, shipment locations, SCAC codes or product attributions. MDM automates the ongoing management of contact information through workflow and automated community outreach for data "refreshes", and provides businesses with automated, actionable updates of shared data via a standards-based sub/pub model.

Features:

• Automated updates for product information for all profiled suppliers
• Ability to support images
• Social Networking extensions for trading partner attributes - roles, escalation ownership and contact
• Automated and audited workflows for managing trading partner updates and refresh of data
• Rich permissioning system
• Communication and translation capabilities

Benefits:

• Provides a single view of shared data
• Reduces exceptions in the order-to-cash lifecycle
• Improves fulfillment and transportation processes with fresh location and SCAC codes
