Note: This is a self-paced online course in which the Guided Tour Product Simulation requires no installations: Everything is through your IE 5.0+ browser. Please DO NOT make travel arrangements for this course. After you receive confirmation that you are registered, just follow the instructions to access the course.
This browser-based product simulation let's you "learn-by-doing" in a case-study scenario in which you solve a 'real-life' business problem - no installations needed just a browser and a passion to learn.
By the end of this training you'll have a better understanding of this InfoSphere product's terminology, an overview of its architecture, and a better understanding of how it can be implemented.

Before entering the Guided Tour Product Simulation, this course begins by defining the concept of master data management. We'll then talk about the types of problems that organizations face and the types of solutions and approaches that companies have put into place. We'll discuss how organizations have attempted to use enterprise applications, data warehouses, and integration middleware to solve master data management problems.
Then we'll cover IBM's master data management solution and how it solves problems. Then we'll dig deeper and look at its architecture. Here, we'll discuss the products major components and the features associated with each.
During the Guided-Tour Product Simulation section, you will serve as a representative in a call-center and use an MDM Server User Interface to deal with a telephone call from a customer. You will invoke of a number of MDM services, search for a customer, update that customer, and navigate to a related domain.
You will then gain some insight into how the server works behind the scenes by viewing a duplicate suspect customer in both the UI and in the database repository, seeing how the server collapses the duplicate, and noting the corresponding processes and events in the logs.
