Master data management

Duplicate data. Duplicate problems.

One customer number here, another one there, with manual corrections in between. We assign responsibility for master and transactional data, unify rules and connect the affected systems. The goal is a traceable data flow through your business processes.

Your brief for OTOKO®

What we take care of for you.

First, we record which systems create and change customers, items, contracts or organizational units. A system of record is defined for each data type or attribute, not as a blanket rule for everything. Business units determine permitted values, mandatory fields and approvals. Duplicates are merged using traceable rules; uncertain matches are routed to a clarification process. The mapping between old and new identifiers is kept as long as dependent cases need it.

The possible scope of services

  • Interface register with data flows, owners and protection needs
  • Definition of the system of record per data type and rules for master data
  • Integration layer with MuleSoft, SAP Integration Suite or Apache Kafka
  • Contracts per interface with versioning, tests and a release process
  • Monitoring with alerting on failures, delays and data errors

We define the specific scope, your involvement and the acceptance criteria before the start.

Technology explained clearly

How we carry out the task.

01

Agree on business-level data contracts between systems

A data model describes not only columns, but also meaning and permitted state transitions. We define how changes are distributed, conflicts are handled and deletions are propagated. Depending on how current the data must be, reconciliation runs or events are options. Every connection is assigned an owner, versioning rules and monitoring. The difference from the technical middleware service lies in the focus: here we clarify business ownership and the consistency of enterprise data.

02

Prove consistency with real cases

Acceptance testing traces selected objects through the systems involved, including correction and deletion. Control reports show missing mappings and conflicting values. Your team receives the rule set, a data flow map and responsibilities for ongoing maintenance. Bring examples where data currently has to be entered more than once or repaired afterward.

A verifiable result

What you keep working with.

  1. Interface register with data ownership
  2. Operational integration layer
  3. Master data rules and monitoring reports

The handover brings together implementation and documentation. Together, we review the agreed cases and record any remaining tasks.

Before the first step

Your questions about Master data management.

Do we need a separate MDM product for this?

Not always. With a limited scope, clear responsibilities and existing platforms can be enough. A dedicated master data system is assessed based on maintenance and distribution needs.

Can every duplicate be cleaned up automatically?

No. Similar names can refer to different people or companies. Uncertain matches still need to be reviewed by the business.
