Why does MDM require BPM

[Former Member]

Hi,

Could someone please let me know why do we require MDM to integrate with BPM?

I mean what business situations demand data tobe interfaced from Legecy system -> BPM (CE !) -> MDM

Also what benifits does MDM get if the data is interfaced via BPM to MDM?

Could someone please help me in answering these!!!

Kind Regards

Eva

Hi Eva,

let's do a short example:

If you have want to do some masterdata for customers in MDM. To do so you need also the governance process for this. This process is often a multilevel approval workflow and therefore you need the BPM.

In the end you will have following landscape

MDM where the data is stored
CE with Webdynpro Java in order to get access to the data and approximate the business logic
BPM with human tasks and automatic tasks to route the process

Hope this helps
