MDM Developer Role

[Former Member]

Hello guys.

As an MDM developer, what is part of your role:

1. Import Data from XI using Import Manager

2. Using MDM Console to create Repository and populate it with Data

3 Syndicate the data using MDM Syndicator

4 .Convert Functional to Technical Specs

Is using an MDM Data Manager to de-duplicate the data part of Developers role, or it's MDM Super User's job, some one from the Business Side?

Also does the developer participate in Blueprinting phase, like gathering Functional Specs, or Developers job only to transfer them to Technical

specs?

Also please list some of the other roles of MDM Developer.

Thank you

Hi Igor,

1) Is using an MDM Data Manager to de-duplicate the data part of Developers role, or it's MDM Super User's job, some one from the Business Side?

- Creating The De-Duplication strategy to find Duplicate records is the job of an MDM consultant,but once the rules and strategy is set up the matching an merging will be performed by the Business guy, as there is a business need to it.While merging two records it very important which info from which records is selected and this a business person will need to decide.

2)Also does the developer participate in Blueprinting phase, like gathering Functional Specs, or Developers job only to transfer them to Technical

specs?

- Ya it is true that an MDM consultant will decide the MDM technical specs but an MDM consultant also plays an imp role in deciding the Functional specs as this is determined by what MDM can do & what it cannot do.Like for eg an MDM consultation will be req to decide which Roles should be granted which all access,what data can be used as a qualifier data or an hierarchy data.etc.

3)Also please list some of the other roles of MDM Developer.

- An MDM developer another imp role could be in designing a Workflow as most of the data importing will be through a workflow.

Hope it helps

Thanks & Regards
