Identification of potential requirements of master data management under cloud computing

Abstract

Master Data Management (MDM) has been evaluated under the contexts from Enterprise Architecture (EA), SemanticWeb, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Business Process Intergration (BPI). However, there have been very few studies from the point of view of operations of MDM under a Cloud Computing environment. In this paper, the results of analysis of prospective new issues which arise in MDM under the complicated Cloud Computing envrionment such as integrating private Cloud and multi-SaaS have been explained. According to the analysis, there will be certain demand to develop a new protocol to realize a cooperative operation among them under strict security. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
