Customer Business Issues

Too much information and not knowing what’s important Not using demand signals to drive supply chain

Not using customer analysis to tailor marketing and sales

Not leveraging valuable unstructured information

Multiple versions of the truth Problems managing customer, product and partner interactions

Regulatory compliance inhibited by poor transparency

Lack of trusted information Incomplete, out-of-date, inaccurate, misinterpreted data

Difficult to understand or control how information is used

Lack of agility Inability to take advantage of opportunities for innovation

Escalating costs due to inflexible systems and changing needs

Is Information Server a Product?

Information Server is a platform Multiple modules that share a consistent foundation of shared

platform services

Companies can purchase one or more of the modules Each module inherently includes the platform services

The modules work together seamlessly, providing great project leverage As new modules are added, they “snap-in” to the shared platform

services, providing immediately leverage

This provides organizations with a flexible entry point

IBM Software Group

Why Is it Important to Start with Understanding?

Where is my information?

How do I get it when I need it?

What does it mean?

Can I trust it?

How do I get it in the form I need?

How do I get it where it needs to go?

How do I control it?

IBM Software Group

Why Should I Care About Cleansing Information?

Lack of information standards Different formats & structures

across different systems

Data surprises in individual fields Data misplaced in the database

Information buried in free-form fields

Data myopia Lack of consistent identifiers inhibit

a single view

The redundancy nightmare Duplicate records with a lack of

standards

What Is Important About Transformation & Delivery?

Transformation is key to enabling information to be used in new business contexts – it needs to be metadata-driven

Designed for use by information experts using the understanding imparted by the metadata

Transformation and Delivery can be reused across multiple mechanisms Large volume batch movement Real-time event-driven response Service-oriented architecture Federated query
