Discussion Group and Website integration - Monday, June 04, 2007

Our integration layer between our webiste (www.infoadvisors.com) and our discussion server (http://wb.itboards.com) is currently out of service.  That means if you are registering for the first time, you'll need to first register here on the website, then register again on the discussion group (via the ENTER link on each board's page).  If you use the same credentials on both, then when we turn integration back on your accounts will be in sync again.

Please register here on the website first.  Thanks for your patience.

Master Data Management tips

Jul 4

Written by: Karen Lopez

Hannah Smalltree, writing for SearchCIO.com has a great short article on what early adopters of Master Data Management should do.  She calls it Best Practices, but I'd call it Minimum Requirements.  For instance, let's look at item 1:

1. Get business involved -- or in charge.

I always recommend that MDM efforts be started only when there is a clear business case (oh, and there always is one) and that the business organizations is on board, driving the effort.  I think it is like implementing Business Party in your models - IT can do all the modeling and drawing it wants, but true Business Party implementation can't succeed without changes to the business.

It's a great article, though.
