IBM Premier Business Partner and InfoSphere Information Server Specialist
Maximize your investments in IBM InfoSphere Information Server
Most Organizations, based on their business need and vision,
has invested millions of dollars on IBM InfoSphere Information
Server tool comprising of DataStage, QualityStage, Information
Analyzer, Business Glossary, Metadata Workbench, FastTrack,
Change Data Capture (CDC), Information Services Director (ISD),
and Master Data Management (MDM).
On top, these Organizations have entrusted the services of
implementation to their existing vendor community to seek out
qualified resources that are experienced in these tool sets and
spent 5 to 10 times more on getting some of their initiatives
completed or in progress. Typical implementation initiatives are
Data Warehousing, Data Marts, Business Intelligence reporting
and analytics, Data Quality Rigor, Data Profiling for column,
primary-key-foreign key, table, cross-table, domain, cross-
domain, baseline and comparative analysis with the baseline,
maintaining Enterprise Business Glossary or simply end-to-end
Metadata Management and Master Data Management.
With such selection of resources from various vendor agencies
where every resource works independently, InfoSphere
Information Server best practices, standards, guidelines, sound
data integration & ETL strategy, development methodology,
performance & tuning traits, knowledge of center of excellence
is lost giving way to poor design, development and practices
that results in inconsistencies, severe burn out ratio for the
Organization or end up with poor quality product being rolled
out into Production which creates lot of headaches to the
Incumbent Organization management.

AVS
Gain visibility and trust in your information –Data about Data
Understand your end-to-end information infrastructure
Proactively manage and administer your information infrastructure - Web-based exploration of metadata relationships – InfoSphere,
modeling and BI applications - Explore and analyze both graphically and textually - Perform searches and customized queries
Assess and mitigate change management risk - Assess dependencies across InfoSphere and 3rd party tools
Support compliance and governance initiatives (e.g. Sarbanes-Oxley, Basel II) - Trace data lineage of modeling, BI reports and InfoSphere objects
InfoSphere Metadata Workbench helps support information governance by providing reporting and traceability on InfoSphere data movement, modeling and business intelligence applications, as required by regulations such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Basel II.
During the design phase of an information agenda, IT personnel can analyze and view the impact of changes to the current information model, avoiding potentially disruptive modifications to existing processes.
InfoSphere Metadata Workbench relates design and operational and business metadata to drive better understanding and higher trust between IT and LOB employees.
And lastly, reporting on the end-to-end design is critical to the auditing process and understanding why and how decisions were made. Storing this information centrally is key to historical analysis.
AVS Systems Metadata Management Strategy facilitates answers to the following
questions (shown with typical outputs/deliverables):
What data elements are available / needed?
Inventory of data assets Why are these data needed?
Business rationale, business processes supported/enabled How do the data-related processes work?
Manufacture, manipulation, organization, storage and dissemination of data Execution of scripts, programs as required by Administrator as well as
developers. Who is responsible for each of these data elements?
Ownership, stewardship When do the data-related processes take place?
Calendar-driven (scheduled), event-driven, user-driven (ad hoc) Where are the data-related processes executed?
Internal/external organizations, applications/systems within which data is contained
Metadata management yields the following reports: - Business Lineage - Data Lineage - Impact Analysis - Operational Metadata
Explore Metadata Information assets in the
repository of InfoSphere
Information Server (IIS)
Analyze Dependencies and relationships
of key assets and business
intelligence reports
Manage Metadata to obtain in-depth
analysis reports
Typical Metadata Sources
INTERNAL to the InfoSphere
Information Server:
- DataStage ETL Jobs
- QualityStage Data Quality Jobs
- Information Analyzer Data
Profiling results
- Business Glossary Terms and
Definitions
- Master Data Management
Typical Metadata Sources
EXTERNAL to the InfoSphere
Information Server:
- Informatica/Other ETL jobs
- Data Modeling from Erwin,
ER/Studio, etc.
- Business Intelligence metadata
from Cognos, Business Objects,
Microstrategy, etc.
- RDBMS Structures from Oracle,
DB2, etc
- Various other sources via
bridges and connectors

The quality of data within the
enterprise is measured according
to its reliability and validity; the
completeness and accuracy of a
data set. It is usually measured by
comparing the data set to
another data set identified as the
"gold standard", and assessing
the level of agreement, thus
creating a Master Record.
But, data being data, you
are faced with the
following challenges:
BBuussiinneessss DDrriivveerrss Data is highly fragmented, NOT
insightful, reliable, complete, consistent and accurate.
Intensifying regulatory requirements
Multiple Versions of the same reference data exists for different reporting environment?
Lack of Information Standards (Redundancy nightmare, Structural differences prevalent across disparate sources)
Data load process overwrites the results of others
Cumbersome manual process to consolidate data

ARE YOU FACING ISSUES WITH YOUR MDM/ETL
PROGRAMS DEVELOPED WITH IBM INFOSPHERE?
PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT. WE CAN HELP.
Today’s economy and business trends demand quick action and cohesive
handshake among all business processes so that companies can understand the
real benefits that are hidden underneath the guise of inaccurate and unreliable
data spread across disparate systems and also due to business initiatives taking
place such as citizens or corporate name changes, mergers and acquisitions,
parent-subsidiary relationships, divestiture, splits, etc.
Businesses are faced with the immediate need to consolidate their data and
integrate them so that immense value can be realized. Companies need to be
able to work together in a unified environment so that Master Data
Management/Customer Data Integration can take place.

Issues with on-boarding clients? Citizen/Customer Identification a costly redundant process? No Trusted Source of Information. Facing difficulty in consolidating and integrating your data? Multiple versions of the same reference data for different
reporting environment? Data load process overwrites the results of others? Spend more time gathering data manually? Significant amount of point-to-point integration? Data quality issues are plenty? Data Warehouse/Business Intelligence platform not yielding the
right results or you don’t have one? No Data Governance in place? No Master Data Integration Strategy in place?
