Enterprise Master Data Management - An Soa Approach To Managing Core Information

by Allen Dreibelbis, Dan Wolfson, Eberhard Hechler, Ivan Milman, Martin Oberhofer e Paul Van Run

42,51€ + 10% CARD

 <b>The Only Complete Technical Primer for MDM Planners, Architects, and Implementers</b> <br> <br>Companies moving toward flexible SOA architectures often face difficult information management and integration challenges. The master data they rely on is often stored and managed in ways that are redundant, inconsistent, inaccessible, non-standardized, and poorly governed. Using Master Data Management (MDM), organizations can regain control of their master data, improve corresponding business processes, and maximize its value in SOA environments. <br> <br> <i><b>Enterprise Master Data Management</b> </i>provides an authoritative, vendor-independent MDM technical reference for practitioners: architects, technical analysts, consultants, solution designers, and senior IT decisionmakers. Written by the IBM <sup>®</sup> data management innovators who are pioneering MDM, this book systematically introduces MDM’s key concepts and technical themes, explains its business case, and illuminates how it interrelates with and enables SOA. <br> <br>Drawing on their experience with cutting-edge projects, the authors introduce MDM patterns, blueprints, solutions, and best practices published nowhere else—everything you need to establish a consistent, manageable set of master data, and use it for competitive advantage. <br> <br>Coverage includes <br> <ul> <li>How MDM and SOA complement each other</li> <li>Using the MDM Reference Architecture to position and design MDM solutions within an enterprise</li> <li>Assessing the value and risks to master data and applying the right security controls</li> <li>Using PIM-MDM and CDI-MDM Solution Blueprints to address industry-specific information management challenges</li> <li>Explaining MDM patterns as enablers to accelerate consistent MDM deployments</li> <li>Incorporating MDM solutions into existing IT landscapes via MDM Integration Blueprints</li> <li>Leveraging master data as an enterprise asset—bringing people, processes, and technology together with MDM and data governance</li> <li>Best practices in MDM deployment, including data warehouse and SAP integration</li> </ul> <br>

Practical Software Architecture - Moving From System Context To Deployment

by Tilak Mitra

47,69€ + 10% CARD

 <b>Getting Architecture Just Right: Detailed Practical Guidance for Architecting Any Real-World IT Project</b> <br> <br>To build effective architectures, software architects must tread a fine line between precision and ambiguity (a.k.a. big animal pictures). This is difficult but crucial: Failure to achieve this balance often leads directly to poor systems design and implementation. Now, pioneering IBM Distinguished Engineer and Chief Technology Officer Tilak Mitra offers the first complete guide to developing end-to-end solution architectures that are "just enough"--identifying and capturing the most important artifacts, without over-engineering or excessive documentation, and providing a practical approach to consistent and repeated success in defining software architectures. <br> <br> <i>Practical Software Architecture</i> provides detailed prescriptive and pragmatic guidance for architecting any real-world IT project, regardless of system, methodology, or environment. Mitra specifically identifies the artifacts that require emphasis and shows how to communicate evolving solutions with stakeholders, bridging the gap between architecture and implementation. <br> <br>Through a real-world case study, Mitra guides you iteratively through building an end-to-end solution architecture. Step by step, he addresses key topics in developing system contexts, architecture overviews, architecture decisions, functional models, operational models, integration patterns for systems design, infrastructure matters, and more. Throughout, you’ll find clear, crisp, and accurate guidance for crafting architectures that can be confidently delivered on time and budget. <br> <br> <b>Coverage Includes</b> <br> <ul> <li>Using architecture to promote communication, enable planning, and support functional as well as nonfunctional capabilities (such as scalability, performance, maintainability, and security)</li> <li>Focusing on the architectural problem at hand and avoiding overreliance on theory and generalization</li> <li>An architectural introduction to analytics</li> <li>Capturing "just enough" about system context, architecture overview, architecture decisions, functional models, and operational models</li> <li>Integration patterns and their usage in architecture design</li> <li>Infrastructure matters in any software architecture</li> <li>A real-world case study and its software architecture</li> </ul>

26,49€ + 10% CARD

 <b>Maximize the Value of Your Information Throughout Even the Most Complex IT Project</b> <br> <i>Foreword by Tim Vincent, IBM Fellow and Vice President, CTO for IBM Analytics Group</i> <br> <br>To drive maximum value from complex IT projects, IT professionals need a deep understanding of the information their projects will use. Too often, however, IT treats information as an afterthought: the "poor stepchild" behind applications and infrastructure. <i>That needs to change.</i> <i>This book will help you change it.</i> <br> <br>Five senior IBM architects show you how to use information-centric views to give data a central role in project design and delivery. Using Common Information Models (CIM), you learn how to standardize the way you represent information, making it easier to design, deploy, and evolve even the most complex systems. <br> <br>Using a complete case study, the authors explain what CIMs are, how to build them, and how to maintain them. You learn how to clarify the structure, meaning, and intent of any information you may exchange, and then use your CIM to improve integration, collaboration, and agility. <br> <br>In today’s mobile, cloud, and analytics environments, <i> your information is more valuable than ever</i>. To build systems that make the most of it, start right here. <br> <br>Coverage Includes <br>• Mastering best practices for building and maintaining a CIM <br>• Understanding CIM components and artifacts: scope, perspectives, and depth of detail <br>• Choosing the right patterns for structuring your CIM <br>• Integrating a CIM into broader governance <br>• Using tools to manage your CIM more effectively <br>• Recognizing the importance of non-functional characteristics, such as availability, performance, and security, in system design <br>• Growing CIM value by expanding their scope and usage <br>• Previewing the future of CIMs <br> <br>
