IRM UK Data Architecture conference

摘要

Shell/Accenture on enterprise master data management. Statoil on leveraging DAMA and TOGAF. Shell human resources' journey to information quality. At the IRM-UK held in London last month, Shell group data architect Andrew Schulze teamed with Accenture's Duncan Slater to present Shell's foundation for enterprise master data management. The project spans Shell's global upstream and downstream businesses with standardized terminology and a high level enterprise data catalogue. A 2010 proof of concept (PoC) project extended Shell's SAP master data management system with Microsoft's master data services. Now Shell has a further six MDM PoC projects underway. Even at the PoC level, MDM has not been easy. The golden rule? There are no golden rules! MDM practitioners have to balance realizable projects with the requirement of enterprise deliverability.
