Information Management IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management, Version 11.3

InfoSphere MDM Application Toolkit overview

Optimize business performance by providing decision makers with better insight through trusted, accurate master data.

Decisions are only as good as the information available at the time the decisions are made. When decision makers have trust in the master data their decisions are smarter, resulting in fewer errors and better business performance. Use the InfoSphere® MDM Application Toolkit for BPM to bring trusted master data into enterprise processes that run on IBM® Business Process Manager.

For example, you can enhance your customer onboarding process by using IBM Process Designer to display master data hierarchies to sales representatives. You can look up existing accounts to gain a comprehensive view of your customers. With this 360-degree customer view, you can achieve these goals:
  • Improve customer service
  • Improve risk management
  • Increase up-sell and cross-sell revenue by providing more relevant offerings

The MDM Application Toolkit provides a comprehensive set of MDM-specific building blocks, including prebuilt integration services and MDM-specific user interface controls. You can use these building blocks within the IBM Process Designer to enrich your business processes with master data. With the building blocks, the MDM Application Toolkit facilitates the rapid construction of these business processes while it removes the integration complexity. Using the combination of the IBM Process Designer and the MDM Application Toolkit, developers can minimize the time that they spend working with the data. Developers can instead focus their time on building a robust, efficient process for use by the lines of business.
