Master Data Management
Transcript:
For a truly digital supply chain, your enterprise needs to be digitally connected across business units and divisions.
Across manufacturing plants, warehouses and distribution centers.
And externally with customers and trading partners outside your company.
What’s essential for a digital enterprise is a common business network and a common language for communication.
Today, the major challenges holding back companies from achieving this are the technology hurdles that prohibit connections and cost-effective collaboration.
These stand in the way of becoming truly digital, and realizing the benefits in speed, efficiency, and process performance.
One Network Enterprises provides the multi-party digital platform that enables real-time optimization and autonomous supply chain management.
A key success factor is to enable every participant in your supply chain to reconcile master data efficiently and accurately with a common operating backbone, even across separate ERP systems.
The Multi-Enterprise Master Data Management system is purpose-built for complex supply chains, and manages information about customers, products, suppliers, locations, and logistics.
It’s multi-party, multi-echelon, and process-oriented, with comprehensive industry-specific data models that traditional MDM systems do not have.
Our network-based approach to master data is also unique and highly efficient.
Because the MDM scope extends to every supply chain participant, an organization can reference their partner’s master data, but no longer needs to maintain their partner’s data.
This saves time, reduces costs, boosts quality, and eliminates errors.
Every trading partner now has a real-time single version of the truth, and can operate efficiently across every mutual business process.
For example, a manufacturer and a supplier can optimize the inbound replenishment process together, as they share volumetric data about parts, orders, and deliveries.
For new product introductions, One Network’s MDM enables companies to communicate incremental engineering and formulation changes, with details about bill-of-material updates and effectivity dates, between engineering and supply chain departments.
This can happen internally and across every tier of contract manufacturers and suppliers.
For procurement and supply chain processes, the platform has a complete representation of the value chain, from inbound supply to outbound fulfillment, so companies can operate digitally, across their multiple ERP instances and other systems.
We call this a dual platform approach, where the business network and its MDM system become the primary operational system of record for the supply chain.
With Multi-Enterprise MDM, network-wide partners are connected to a shared network solution.
Trading partners connect just once to the network. Each partners' master data is represented just once, not N times. And partners need only create their own mappings.
They do not need to maintain copies of all item attributes.
One Network’s MDM is the foundation of a true many-to-many business network, where your company has full control over who can see and collaborate with master data.
All parties manage data access with One Network’s secure, proven permissions framework.
For example, in collaboration on a product promotion, your company can assign time-bounded roles to two of your distribution partners in order to grant temporary permissions and assign roles to users for specific time periods.
As your company expands into new processes and new business models, you’ll be able to extend your One Network platform with new interfaces, data models, and processes using the One Network SDK.
One Network’s Multi-Enterprise MDM eliminates friction, maximizes efficiency, and enables the fast, accurate decision-making necessary to drive digital business.
It’s essential to a truly digital supply chain, and provides a competitive advantage for every network participant.
