1 PRODUCT DATASHEET Semarchy Convergence for MDM The Next Generation Evolutionary MDM Platform IT MANAGEMENT BENEFITS Get successful on time and budget Start with a tactical solution, build for tomorrow s strategic MDM Facilitate adoption through a non-intrusive solution Shorten projects lifecycle Evolve and adapt to new requirements Support current and future scalability and performance needs IT Management implements MDM on behalf of the business authorities who need complete trust in their master data across all business domains but cannot justify the timescales or costs involved in a big-bang approach to data governance. Semarchy Convergence for MDM is an Evolutionary MDM Platform that provides reliable and consolidated data for both simple as well as complex master data management initiatives through an iterative approach that enables a data governance strategy to grow incrementally over time. Unlike traditional MDM approaches, Convergence for MDM is the Next Generation solution that supports simple, safe and fast Evolutionary MDM. BUSINESS BENEFITS Drive accurate business decisions Discover upsell and cross-sell opportunities Optimize operational efficiency with better knowledge Reduce Mergers, Acquisitions and Divesting costs Reduce risk and Increase transparency for regulatory compliance EVOLUTIONARY MDM Completely Non-Intrusive Accelerates Project Evolution Controls Data Evolution Completely Non-Intrusive Convergence for MDM works within the existing end user organization and forces zero IT infrastructure and zero human process change within the end user s organization. Accelerates Project Evolution With Convergence for MDM, it becomes simple to add new domains or accommodate changes in existing domains. Because version control of data models is fundamental for Evolutionary MDM, the ability to create and host

2 simultaneous versions of the same model within the same master data location is a core feature of Convergence for MDM. Controls Data Evolution In a complex master data environment it is not just the data model that changes and evolves. The master data content changes. It changes in the source upstream systems that author the master data. It changes because of the addition of a new publishing application. It changes because of new business rules defined to consolidate this master data into golden data. Convergence for MDM gives you the unique ability to version control your master data and access this data as well at its lineage as it was at any specific point in time.

3 Key Features Logical Modeling Semarchy Convergence for MDM provides a fast and iterative modeling framework that simplifies the design of semantically complete master data models. It enables business users to collaborate closely with the IT department to define high-level concepts expressed using business terminology. This single point of definition of the master data and reference data enables true evolution towards business consensus. Full Multi-Domain MDM Unique Graphical Web Experience Entities, Relationships, Complex Data Types, Inheritance Automatically Generated Convergence Hub Security at the Attribute Level Built-in Internationalization Data Certification Framework The Semarchy Convergence for MDM Data Certification Framework transforms source records pushed to the hub by publishers (source applications or direct data authoring), into consolidated and certified Golden Records. This process is automated and involves several phases, generated from the rules and constraints defined in the model. This framework enables the fastest time to production for MDM implementations. It allows you to start with a tactical approach and iteratively involve the business users to create a positive synergy that drives your strategic data governance over time. Enrichment and Standardization Data Quality Validation Powerful Matching Features Record-Level or Attribute-Level Consolidation Model-Driven Data Manipulation Language Extensible Capabilities Convergence for Address Verification and Geocoding Authoring and Duplicates Management Workflows Semarchy Convergence for MDM enables master data governance using human workflows for master data authoring, validation and duplicate records management. Using graphical human workflows, business users, data

4 stewards and data owners can collaborate to contribute to the highest quality content for the master and golden data records. Graphical Human Workflows at Design time & Runtime Role-based and User-based Task Assignment Notifications Shared Data Manipulation Transactions Data Certification Rules Enforced on Transaction Data Full Support for Data Authoring, Consolidation and Hybrid Hub Patterns MDM Applications for Data Governance Business analysts, data stewards and application users using the Semarchy Convergence for MDM-generated applications can collaborate to govern and access the master data as it is now or as it was at any point in time. This interface makes role-based master data access and manipulation simple for all users. Generated Applications User Interface Business Object Views Business-friendly Forms, Tables and Hierarchies Intuitive Data Navigation Data Lineage, Trace-Back to Source Master Data Metrics, Rejects and Duplicates Access Golden Data History Customizable Views Microsoft Excel Integration Role-based Security Enforcement Internationalization Versioning Convergence for MDM Version Control features allow you to make your master data evolve along with the enterprise on the three dimensions of master data lifecycle: content, shape and breadth. These features enable a fast, simple and safe iterative approach to MDM.

5 Model Version Control and Branching Non-Disruptive Incremental Update Data Version Control Golden Data As-of-Version Optimized Database Storage Non-intrusive Convergence Hub Convergence for MDM generates and deploys a Data Convergence Hub from the logical model. This Data Convergence Hub implements an architecture that is non-intrusive for master data publishers and consumers, and nondisruptive for existing processes. The hub includes the data certification processes, the storage structures and the access APIs for the deployed models. Automatically Generated Certification Process Publishers Data and Web Services APIs Batch or Real-Time Integration Patterns Lineage Back to the Source Generated Web Services for Data Distribution Database Power for Processing and Storage Full Integration with Convergence for Data Integration Open and Scalable Architecture Semarchy Convergence for MDM uses an open architecture for enterprisescale deployments. The core of this architecture reinforces the non-intrusive approach for Evolutionary MDM. The platform is secure, scalable and extensible. It supports ever-growing data volumes, and is built to be ready for the Cloud. Zero-Client Installation Database Power for Processing and Storage Enterprise-Class Security Optimized Data Storage Open Data Format Open Plug-in Architecture.
