Description:
Conference Chairman Keynote & Welcome Capitalizing on MDM in Times of Crisis Aaron Zornes, Founder & Chief Research Officer, The MDM Institute -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MDM is particularly important in today’s increasingly complex and harsh global business landscape – in part due to increasingly demanding suppliers, trading partners, customers … as well as financial challenges and government regulations. Despite the current economic crisis, analyst firms have declared MDM to be “recession proof” as businesses strive to dramatically reduce costs, meet compliance reporting mandates, deliver increased sales and marketing effectiveness, and provide superior service to customers and suppliers. MDM and its variants – customer data integration (CDI), product information management (PIM), and data governance – all significantly contribute to these tactical business priorities. Research analysts at the MDM Institute annually produce a set of twelve milestones for their MDM Road Map to help Global 5000 enterprises focus efforts for their own large-scale, mission-critical MDM projects. This keynote will focus on this set of strategic planning assumptions and present an enlightening view of the key trends and issues facing IT organizations during 2009-10 and beyond by highlighting: Understanding the impact of MDM market momentum, maturation, and consolidation Coping with the skills shortage for data governance, MDM project leadership, & enterprise architecture Identifying the essential (vs. desirable) features of an enterprise-strength MDM solution

Business Value of Multi-Entity MDM

With a 4th generation MDM platform, an enterprise will be better able to

Identify & provide differentiated service to its most valuable customers via their relationships (households, hierarchies); also cross-sell & up-sell additional products to these customers

Introduce new products & product bundles more quickly across more channels to reduce the cost of New Product Introduction (NPI)

Provide improved enterprise-wide transparency across customers, distributors, suppliers, and products to better support regulatory compliance processes Enterprises must plan now to realize economic value &

competitive differentiation via multi-entity MDM during next 2-5 years

Market MaturationStrategic Planning Assumption

During 2009, the MDM market will continue to shift gears from “early adopter” to “mainstream” as 95%+ of financial services, communications services, high tech, & pharma/life sciences enterprises actively explore to replace homegrown MDM solutions

Through 2010-11, verticalization/horizontalization of MDM solutions will expand beyond corporate financial reporting, EMPI healthcare, etc. into financial services & government especially

By 2012, the market for enterprise MDM solutions (software & services) as both strategic initiatives & to refresh aging legacy MDM capabilities will exceed US$3B

MDM MILESTONE

Market MomentumStrategic Planning Assumption

During 2009, MDM solutions such as IBM, ORCL, SAP, & TDC will monopolize majority market share in the G5000 enterprise; while mid-market solutions arrive from MSFT, Nimaya, & ORCL plus Data Quality vendors (Pitney Bowes/G1, SAS/DataFlux, Trillium)

Through 2010, both mega & best-of-breed MDM vendors will aggrandize the traditional master customer DB business of Data Service Providers (e.g., ACXM, DNB, & Experian) as these vendors sprint to deliver on-premise data hub solutions

By 2012, every major application & database vendor will provide either native or OEMed MDM capability – including DOX, MSFT, & CRM

MDM MILESTONE

Market Consolidation & DiversificationStrategic Planning Assumption

During 2009, mega IT vendors (IBM, ORCL, SAP) will continue M&A-driven R&D gyrations in moving to an enterprise MDM-centric portfolio with ORCL & SAP challenged additionally in moving from silo’ed application architectures into SOA-based architectures (Fusion & NetWeaver)

By 2010, IBM (ASCL/CRSW/DMC/DWL/LAS/Princeton Softech/ SRD/Trigo/Unicorn) & ORCL (HYSL/iFlex/JDE/PSFT/RETK/SEBL/ Sunposis) will begin to overcome most architectural/ BPM/ metadata/platform issues that confounded SAP earlier (A2i/BOBJ/Callixa)

Through 2011-12, mega IT vendors (IBM, ORCL, SAP, & TDC) will dominate the MDM market with niche/best-of-breed vendors (DNB/Purisma, i2, Initiate Systems, Kalido, Siperian) thriving in specific industries & horizontal/corporate applications

MDM MILESTONE

Budgets & SkillsStrategic Planning Assumption

During 2009, G5000 size enterprises will spend US$1M for MDM software, with addt’l US$3-4M for SI services; Global Service Providers will operate under this price floor by applying highly-customized, labor intensive frameworks & related accelerators

Throughout 2010, skill shortages will greatly inflame project costs as demand for data stewards, enterprise data architects, & individuals with data governance experience outstrip market supply; concurrently, SIs will fill void in classic style by baiting & switching veterans for rookies

By 2012, market will stabilize as enterprises react by training & protecting their own MDM staff with specific product & project expertise; until then, enterprises will struggle with re-skilling same resources multiple times as emerging/evolving data management technologies mature (e.g., Fusion, Netweaver, …) MDM MILESTONE

Career TracksStrategic Planning Assumption

Scarcity of “hands on” MDM experience exists

During 2007-08, 1,500+ product-specific consultants albeit with little “real world” experience with mainstay MDM solutions were trained up

Current shortage lends itself to same scenario 5-10 years ago with SAP’s ABAP 4GL – i.e., inflated prices & resumes with many junior SI staff spinning up to speed at client’s expense (a.k.a. “Androids”)

Market for expertise will create major demand for corporate MDM positions during next 3-5 years

Data GovernanceStrategic Planning Assumption

During 2009, most enterprises will struggle with cross-enterprise DG scope as they initially focus on customer, vendor, or product; enterprise-level DG that includes entire master data lifecycle will be mandated as core phase 0/1 deliverable of large-scale MDM projects

Through 2010, major SIs & MDM boutiques will focus on productizing DG frameworks while MDM software providers struggle to link governance process with process hub technologies; concurrently G5000 enterprises struggle to evolve enterprise DG in cost-effective & practical way from “passive” to “active” DG modes

By 2011-12, mega vendor MDM solutions will finally move from “passive-aggressive DG” mode to “active DG”

MDM MILESTONE

Data governance will remain problematic during 2009-10 for organisations attempting to scale into phase 2 MDM

MDM ConvergenceStrategic Planning Assumption

During 2009, party & product data interdependencies will quickly broaden MDM requirements – i.e., from “customer” to “product” to “vendor”; concurrently, vendor dogma will promote nouveau approaches such as collaborative MDM to assuage multi-entity conundrum

Through 2010-11, G5000 enterprises will broaden their MDM business initiatives from single use case, single entity to multi-style, multi-entity

By 2012, enterprises without long-term multi-entity MDM strategy run ironic risk of building “MDM silos”

SOA-based multi-entity MDM manages master data domains (customers, accounts, products, etc.)

with significant impact on most important business processes

Why “Multi-Entity MDM”? Why Now?

Future direction is to grow all reference masters into operational masters

Future MDM landscape Multiple data domains Multiple relationships Multiple usage styles –

analytical, operational & collaborative

Linkage between operational data domains using collaborative or analytical MDM

Enterprise MDM = multi-entity MDM – such epiphany enables the enterprise to avoid “random acts of MDM”

Architecture & Data ModelsStrategic Planning Assumption

During 2009, vendors will expose MDM capabilities as “always on” services in loosely-coupled architectures; enterprises will begin establishing a central, business-side led data mgmt team with embedded data quality & external data update services in flow of core business processes

During 2010, mega vendors (IBM, ORCL, SAP, TDC) will focus significant resources on “industry content” of data models which will force specialist vendors to stay “data model lite” via specialization in B2B/B2B2C hierarchy management & distributed MDM

Not until 2011-12, will mega MDM vendors rewire foundational software to fully support strategic application infrastructure (Fusion, NetWeaver, …) & have completed transitioning from client/server to SOA; concurrently, G5000 business requirements will drive vendors into 4th gen full spectrum hubs that support structured & unstructured info

MDM MILESTONE

Identity Resolution Strategic Planning Assumption

During 2009, independent DQ vendors (AddressDoctor, G1, HI, Trillium) will focus on name & address cleansing as they struggle against better funded match/merge & data profiling capabilities increasingly integrated with mega vendor MDM; ongoing challenge will be aggregation of customer data balanced against privacy dictates

During 2009-10, MDM capabilities for classifying, discovering & archiving party relationships while maintaining privacy will become major requirement; concurrently, users will be challenged to discern price/performance/scalability & accuracy of matching algorithms;

By 2011-12, use of cross platform/cross brand customer keys will become core to enabling seamless loyalty programs & online services; sophisticated MDM hierarchy management capabilities will include “global IDs” as mainstay feature to link both legacy & newly-built hubs with DSP’s enrichment data

Market Update for Product Master Data

Adoption of MDM for product is increasingly widespread across all industries

Like party master data, product master data spans multiple use cases & implementation styles

Diverse range of vendors is targeting the PIM market – enterprise application suite vendors, best-of-breed PIM vendors, best-of-breed procurement vendors, industry-specific product masters, analytical MDM vendors, … even CDI hub vendors

No vendor dominates Enterprise application suite vendors will redouble

R&D & marketing efforts during 2009-10

Broader & deeper PIM requirements are pushing vendors to develop more comprehensive solutions; the PIM hub market

will continue to grow quickly & attract new entrants

Findings

The value of “enterprise MDM” can be intuitively recognized in a range of

business initiatives – from short-term fixes to a narrow set of problems such as capturing customer privacy preferences

across product lines to long-term enterprise-wide initiatives delivering

infrastructure agility by embracing SOA.MDM Institute Advisory Council ConsensusDecember 2008 internal round table

Even tactical MDM projects require facets of the “enterprise MDM” solution set; enterprises must plan now to realize economic value & competitive differentiation

via 4th generation MDM during next 2-5 years

Summary

• Enterprise MDM is major IT initiative underway at large # of market-leading Global 5000 enterprises

• Most enterprises & solutions vendors are finding near-term success with single-faceted approach inherent with 3rd generation MDM solutions

• Myopically focusing solely on single data domain & usage style is detrimental to longer term business strategy of integrating supply, demand, & info chains across both intra- & extra-enterprise boundaries

• Coming to market during 2009-10 are 4th generation multi-entity MDM solutions which address requirement for multiple domains & styles as well as roles of consumersLearn from MDM early adopters & prepare now

for “Enterprise MDM” to increase business value & lower costs

Bottom Line

Promote MDM as essential business strategy with IT deliverables to leverage high-value info used repeatedly across many business processes

Position MDM as enabler of key business activities such as improving customer communication & reporting – rather than an important infrastructure upgrade

Begin MDM projects focused on either customer-centricity or product/service optimization

Plan for multi-entity MDM juggernaut evolving from “early adopter” into “competitive business strategy”

Insist on Enterprise MDM software capable of evolving to multiple usage styles & data domainsPlan now to realize economic value & competitive differentiation via

multi-entity MDM during next 2-5 years
