MDM before front end fun

Do not worry i will not write about Academic MDM journal as this is not my job. Nevertheless, what i would like to mention is that MDM has becoming more and mire need in the market ; unfortunately, business do not know the real requirements due to technical needs but İT also exaggrates the facts because of fear extensive MDM needs ,plus politics etc.

As we all Bİ professionals have been saying buzz sentences" single version of truth" with mainly focusing on tool sites, uniqueness need from data perspectives are still inevitably key factor for ultimate success of the project. Business still suffers from almost similiar needs, as they have only relatively satisfied by better query performance ,flashy screens or more user friendly usage ( none of them are still fully appreciated) . Data quality which is a part of MDM or information management policy keeps its importance while single version of Master Data is still not being managed by business. Many of you can argue with several academic words; but at the end of the day, we need get this issue done within simpliest way, less effort and by mainly business.

The reason why i have written this unnecesary paragraph(:)) is that i still see hunger from business almost with same needs after 10-12 years. Yes, technology improves rapidly but dou you think that all of this is in favor of business user? MDM, Data Governance, quality, metadata blsh blah...simple need by business" there should be simple screen that i can manage my master data as business user with easy flow charting" in fact after seeing very complex excel files generated by business, believe these guys can use all visual screens. The only they need is somebody must listen them :)

Impartial Business Party

  Hi, I have not been aroud for sometime due to  some personel changes , as some of you may call radical though. Actually, I will be elaborating these details later on with necessary lessons that we all should re-think about. I just would like to mention couple things with this post in order to underline one of my observations.

I have been in IT arena since 1995 . I did have several opportunities to meet many people, executives, consultants locally or internationally from many companies-big to small-. There is a fact that global or local vendors provide their best technology solutions for their market;nevertheless, these technologies are not enough for stand alone solution most of the time, as they surely need several components from other solutions. At least, they require strong knowledge,service-consultancy. Sometimes, you need to gather 3-4 different companies at the same table to solve customer problem. Unfortunately, there is a missing part in this communication, since there is  need for impartial party who will be managing all parties without biast :) , who will create common trust and will not let people's egos' or other wrong approaches. Surely, this is very hard from several point. Firstly , why someone who will not benefit from this communication should do this ? Secondly, how do other parties trust this party ?  In most of the cases, one bigger party, SIs try to do this. I believe that there is need for this mechanism:) Donot ask me who, how etc. I have my own ideas.. we will see. Doubtless, it requires credibility, years in the market, respect, knowledge..you know "Food for Thought"
why I have written this, since I have been doing some impartial such activities for sometime without any expectation and cleary see progress:). The issue is that we need  to find out modest commercial mechanism for this parties. Mine is just experimental..:)
cheers
