MDM Modernization
Accelerate your Cloud MDM transformation
The first guide linked here is your roadmap to transitioning from your current Informatica on-premises MDM solution to a cloud-native, software-as-a-service (SaaS) model and will help you:
- Understand the benefits of modernizing your MDM.
- Compare MDM SaaS with traditional on-premises solutions.
- Plan and execute a successful MDM modernization project, including assessing your current setup, defining roles, and outlining the project scope.
- Address potential challenges during the transition, such as change management and skill development.
In another resource, discover why a cloud-native MDM solution is the transformative answer to meeting and exceeding your business goals. Organizations see 50% lower data steward workloads and 50% higher developer/engineer productivity. Learn the financial impact of modernization, how faster projects create up to $1.4M in annual value, and how to build a winning business case.
This Quick Start Guide outlines a concise, step-by-step process for modernizing your existing MDM solution to Informatica MDM SaaS, incorporating both automated and manual steps. It is intended for MDM implementors experienced with their current on-premise MDM solution and familiar with Informatica MDM SaaS Edition and other IDMC products (CDI, CAI, CDQ).
Here's how a typical MDM Modernization project looks like:
- Initiate & Plan: Define project objectives, scope, and approach. Assemble the project team. Analyze the current MDM solution and identify business requirements.
- Design & Architect: Define the modernization strategy. Conduct a cost-benefit analysis. Validate data and metadata. Design the target MDM solution, considering data integration, data quality, MDM components, customizations, user interface, and SaaS operations.
- Implement & Configure: Configure MDM, data integration, and data quality components. Migrate data to the MDM SaaS platform.
- Test & Deploy: Check data and metadata consistency. Perform system integration testing and UAT. Cutover and deploy the modernized MDM solution. Stabilize production.
Gain a clear understanding of the typical project lifecycle for an MDM modernization initiative. This includes:
- Project Sequencing: A defined order of activities, identifying the starting point and the expected completion timeline.
- Task Dependencies: Clear identification of tasks that can be performed concurrently and those that must be completed sequentially.
- Comprehensive Scope: Coverage of approximately 80% of the common use cases encountered during an MDM modernization project.
This module will provide you with a deep understanding of the key design differences between on-premises and cloud MDM solutions. You'll gain insights into our recommended SaaS design principles and explore how these principles address 80% of common use cases encountered during an MDM modernization project.
You’re now equipped with the knowledge to transition your on-premise MDM to Informatica Multidomain MDM SaaS—an exciting step forward in your modernization journey! Reach out to your CSM (Customer Success Manager) or Account Manager to guide you through the next steps and ensure a smooth process.
