Perhaps the Warehouse should get access to only a subset of the customer data or shouldn't get any level of access to the Credit Card Processing system. The term Governance is used to describe managing access to the data.

The problem doesn't end with just the customer data. Other data such as product, inventory, and employee data may need to be kept up to date on several systems as well:

...

Master data management (MDM) solves the problem of keeping interrelated systems up to date by creating a separate system where data domains (or domains) are defined for all systems inside the organization. The domains provide neutral data formats or schemas for all systems.

A YOUnite MDM domain can either:

  1. Centrally save the latest change of a record (centralized MDM) or,
  2.  It It can make note of when a change occurs in one of the organization's systems without actually storing the data in YOUnite; this is called federated MDM.

  • Data Integration (DI) The process of transforming and transferring data from one system to another.
  • Adaptor Applications, modules or some software or hardware component that transforms data from one format to the other so that the data can be consumed by another system.
  • Governance Managing access to the datawho accesses certain data sets based on role, application, etc.
  • Data Domain (Domain) A set of fields or properties that define a set of data (i.e. "Customer").
  • Master Data Management (MDM) An approach to reducing data redundancy across systems by maintaining a master file for critical data.
  • Master Data Record (MDR) The latest version of a record (for a customer, for example).
  • Centralized MDM An MDM solution whereby the latest change to a record is saved centrally (in the YOUnite MDM domain). From http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/soa/ind-soa-mdm-2090170.htmlMDM with a central database or central business applications.
  • Federated MDM An MDM solution whereby the latest change to a record is noted in one of the organization's systems without actually storing the data centrally (in the YOUnite MDM domain). From http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/articles/soa/ind-soa-mdm-2090170.htmlMDM with distributed data and a central directory.
  • Scope The defined access limit to MDM data for any given system, application, or role.
