Dialog expands Master Data Management Practice

ObjectRiver, Wayland, MA – April 7, 2006 – Dialog Information Technology is taking a leading position in the Master Data Management (MDM) space with its appointment as distributors for ObjectRiver's MDM solution.

ObjectRiver MDM provides the ability to generate transactional operational data stores (ODS) automatically from existing data models, complete with a Java objects layer to allow updates to the ODS from the web.

Ron Fawcett, Manager of Dialogs' Business Intelligence Solutions unit, said "ObjectRiver enhances the MDM concept by delivering data repositories that can be easily accessed by both SOA and traditional relational SQL calls. Organizations struggling to maintain complex but vital data repositories, or considering building one, will profit from this technology. It offers low running costs, web access to core organizational data and a very early return on investment."

ObjectRiver's MDM solution delivers a complete transactional database infrastructure for services, while preserving the ODSes design. Starting with a business data model, e.g. ERwin, ObjectRiver MDM generates an enterprise data access layer with built-in transparent persistence to reduce database-programming complexity. The event-driven MDM runtime architecture facilitates application messaging and source silo synchronization, utilizing an installed Enterprise Service Bus.

ObjectRiver is being implemented and supported by trained Dialog consultants from the Business Intelligence Solutions. In addition, 24 x 7 customer support is available through Dialog, backed by their existing Dialog Response Centre and Site Care Services.
