i2 Master Data Management

As organizations implement new IT applications, they need a way to author, monitor, synchronize, and maintain the data upon which those systems rely. Yet very few companies have a single, unified approach to data management. As a result, most organizations spend excessive time and money creating single-purpose staging databases for the creation and management of enterprise data.

The i2 Solution: i2 Master Data Management

i2 Master Data Management is designed to create a single enterprise thesaurus that can ensure data is consistently described, used, and stored within an organization. This approach can provide two key functions:

Data management: can create a framework through which data is authored, monitored, and maintained
Data synchronization: can ensure the coordination of business systems that touch the data

i2 Master Data Management can be deployed to create and maintain application-specific data; to consolidate data from multiple disparate systems; to cleanse, transform, and validate data; as well as to filter unwanted data.
