iWay Master Data Server (MDS) is an IT infrastructure component for supporting Master Data Management (MDM) strategies at an enterprise level. The primary purpose for MDM in any organization is to create a single view of the business in order to drive overall business performance. It should be noted that iWay Data Quality Server (DQS) is part of iWay MDS.
Designed to plug in smoothly into an existing IT infrastructure, iWay MDS supports real-time SOA architectures as well as batch mode operations, or a combination of both.
iWay MDS is built upon component architecture designed to integrate with various systems and data sources within existing IT infrastructure. The main system components are:
Key features and advantages that are provided through iWay Master Data Server (MDS) include:
Business processes can directly leverage a variety of pre-defined and pre-configured master data management services, from simple customer management to customer profile searches and unification with additional business entities. Vertical solutions for healthcare, financial services, insurance, and government are also available.
The iWay Master Data Server (MDS) is a specialized cutting-edge technology that delivers the high-quality master data essential to every organization. A plug-and-play solution designed to integrate seamlessly with existing systems, iWay MDS simplifies project complexity and reduces the time from initial development to delivery, so companies can more rapidly implement, and benefit from, their master data management strategy.
iWay MDS is designed for easy integration with most enterprise service bus (ESB) middleware through web services, messaging queues, or specific plug-in modules. In addition to these real-time interfaces, iWay MDS can schedule and execute batch operations on its own for performing tasks that involve large amounts of data (for example, initial loads), or accessing systems that do not allow online change processing.
The following image shows a sample model project opened in the workspace area of iWay MDS. You can design and configure model projects and plans (workflows), which can range from simple to complex. Model projects consists of connected systems, the MDS logical model, the database, transformations, batch interfaces, and files.
The following are business drivers that support MDM initiatives and where iWay MDS can serve a leading role:
