Experience of acquaintance with MDM solution of Unidata company (UniData)

Dear colleagues, good day everyone. 





In this article I would like to share my own experience of acquaintance with the MDM solution of the UniData company. I will try to focus on the specific difficulties and features of the platform that I encountered during the transition from SAP MDM to UniData MDM.





Background of the project

By the time of the start of the project for the transition to UniData MDM, the Company had been operating a corporate reference information management system (KSU NSI) based on SAP MDM for about 5 years. The SAP MDM implementation project was truly successful and the operation of the system created almost no problems.





The KSU NSI kept two general corporate directories:





  •  material and technical resources, works and services (MTRiU), 200,000 records





  •  counterparties, 40,000 records





The model of centralized maintenance of reference data with a single entry point through the mechanism of applications from users was applied. MDM acted as a master system for a number of information systems of Subsidiaries serving various business processes (accounting and tax accounting, planning and centralized procurement, equipment maintenance and repair, and others).
