TIBCO Software Inc., a provider of business integration and process management software, today released a new version of its master data management (MDM) repository to help manufacturers and other companies establish and maintain data consistency across back-end systems that increasingly need to interoperate via emerging service-oriented architectures (SOAs). Called TIBCO Collaborative Information Manager (CIM) 6.0, the J2EE, Web-based, server-side application is said to provide a single platform for creating and managing master data consistency for everything from product and customer data definitions through supplier and reseller nomenclature. Such consistency is important for companies that run a panoply of multi-vendor operational systems -- including CRM, ERP, SCM, and PLM -- and want to revamp their business processes using an SOA to achieve operational improvements that benefit the top and bottom lines. Inconsistent master data across a multi-vendor systems infrastructure makes it difficult, if not impossible, for IT organizations to create reusable componentized applications that run on an SOA. The reason: Master data can vary from vendor suite to suite or by deployment instance because of flawed internal procedures that permit inconsistencies to be created and maintained by different functional departments or business partners that apply different definitions to the same business objects.
