Product Data Management

Siperian Multidomain MDM Hub™ creates a single view of a product across the organization and multiple channels to improve performance management.

Companies experience several challenges caused by the lack of a single source of accurate product information: lost sales when new product introductions are delayed; out-of-stocks resulting from the exchange of inaccurate product information with suppliers; and inability to access reliable product views across multiple channels such as online, call center and in-store.

With a single, reliable view of the product and consistent product definitions, companies can improve performance management in the following critical areas:

  • New product introductions
  • Channel performance
  • Inventory replenishment
  • Improved service levels

Siperian Multidomain MDM Hub™ creates a single view of a product across all operational and analytical uses, independent of any other repository of product data. Siperian Multidomain MDM Hub provides a flexible data model, workflow and event management as well as synchronization with multiple systems-- key requirements of a product data hub.

Flexible data model: Siperian’s data model supports product and related data such as product promotion, units of measure, serial number, price, product cost, lot and kit component. Siperian Multidomain MDM Hub automatically creates all the necessary metadata around the model to manage the entire product data lifecycle. The data model adapts to new data sources and changes in existing ones. And graphical design-time tools allow you to create a data model to conform to specific data sources.

Workflow and event management: Siperian’s open architecture enables the integration of any workflow and business process management (BPM) tools which customers may have standardized on. Siperian Multidomain MDM Hub provides application programming interfaces (APIs) to manage workload distribution, assignment, state management and event routing. It supports event-driven monitoring and management and permits the application of rule-based evaluation and associated custom actions.

Synchronization: Siperian has comprehensive capabilities for synchronizing information through continual data management. Siperian Multidomain MDM Hub provides event-driven monitoring and synchronization via rule-based evaluation that triggers corresponding actions and coordinates uniform write-back to sources and exception management as well as alerts and notifications. A built-in event queue supports automatic near real-time synchronization.
