Study Notes
Party Master Data
- A single individual can play multiple roles such as Agent, Beneficiary, Customer, and Employee.
- Party Master data provides a 360° view by linking all roles to a central person record.
- Roles associated with the central person record are Owner, Agent, Employee, Insured, Beneficiary, Customer, and Other.
Reference Data Structure
- Reference data is used to categorize and classify other data.
- Reference data remains relatively static and provides standardized values for other data elements.
- Reference data structures include lists, cross-reference lists, and taxonomies.
Reference Data Management (RDM)
- RDM manages and standardizes reference data sets across the company.
- Client applications utilize reference data to define statuses like Accepted or Received, Paid or Funded, and Closed or Completed.
- Reference data helps ensure consistent data usage across systems.
Master Data Management (MDM)
- MDM ensures the consistency, accuracy, and reliability of Master Data, which details critical business entities like customers, products, employees, and suppliers.
- MDM focuses on managing core business entities, ensuring that data about entities is consistent across multiple systems and departments.
Goal and Principles of MDM and RDM
- The goal of MDM and RDM is to ensure complete, consistent, current, and authoritative data across company processes.
- This data should be easily shared across company functions and processes.
- Key principles of MDM and RDM are shared data ownership, data quality, stewardship, controlled change, and data authority.
Data Matching
- Data Matching involves identifying potential duplicates across datasets for consolidation and improved data quality.
- False positives occur when two distinct records are mistakenly deemed duplicates.
- False negatives occur when two records representing the same entity are not recognized as duplicates.
- Data governance processes define data sources, quality rules, stakeholder needs, and data steward responsibilities.
System of Record and System of Reference
- A System of Record is the authoritative source for data creation and capture, adhering to specific rules and expectations.
- A System of Reference provides reliable data to consumers, even if the data didn’t originate within that system.
- Data warehouses act as repositories for data from various sources, promoting consolidated information.
Data Sharing Agreements
- Agreements define data sharing policies and conditions.
- Data quality is critical to ensure that consumers receive high-quality information.
- Processes address root causes of quality or availability issues.
Metrics for MDM and RDM
- Important metrics include data quality and compliance, data change activity, data ingestion and consumption, service level agreements, data steward coverage, total cost of ownership, and data sharing volume and usage.
