Master Data Management: IBM InfoSphere Rapid Deployment Package

IBM® InfoSphere™ Rapid Deployment Package (RDP) for Master Data Management (MDM) is a services offering that combines the pre-integration of IBM InfoSphere software with a prescriptive MDM implementation approach to significantly reduce the cost of MDM implementations, and reduce the overall risk. The RDP MDM delivers a fully integrated solution that provides, to your enterprise, a single view of the customer. It also provides a seamless upgrade path to IBM InfoSphere MDM Server, to give you a wide and robust range of MDM functionality.

This IBM Redbooks® publication is aimed at IT architects, Information Management specialists, and Information Integration specialists responsible for implementing an IBM InfoSphere Master Data Management solution on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux® 4.0 platform.

A simple financial services MDM scenario describes the RDP for MDM offering. The scenario shows how RDP can deliver a return on investment in a short time frame by using a phased approach. MDM solutions can provide significant benefits to an enterprise. Realizing those benefits and return on investment requires implementation of an MDM solution and a change in how the organization does business. For this reason, how your MDM solution is implemented is often as important as the solution itself.
