Cloud based master data management system with configuration advisor and method therefore

摘要

A system includes a data store, a data registry, an interface process module, a suggestion database, and a configuration module. The data registry establishes storage of a data record at the data store and maintains links identifying relationships between the data record and a source record at a first source enterprise and between the data record and a source record at a second source enterprise. The interface process module determines that a value at the data record has been updated, and provides the updated value to a corresponding source enterprise using an Internet protocol. The suggestion database includes configuration information associated with multiple users of the system. The configuration module provides Internet access to facilitate configuration of the system by a user and to provide configuration guidance to the user based on the configuration information.
