Abstract

According to some embodiments, a plurality of records may be received over a period of time from a plurality of sources. As the records are received during the period of time, master data management may be performed to match at least some records from different sources with each other. A statistics window within the period of time may be determined, and at least one master data management statistics value may be calculated based on the master data management that was performed during the statistics window. The calculated master data management statistics value may then be displayed.

Claims (38)

1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

receiving, over a period of time, a plurality of records from a plurality of sources;

as the records are received during the period of time, matching at least some records from different sources with each other to create a best record of the at least some records;

determining, by computer processor of a master data management statistics platform, a statistics window within the period of time;

calculating at least one master data management statistics value based on the master data management that was performed during the statistics window; and

displaying a dashboard display associated with the calculated master data management statistics value, the dashboard display including a consume information area indicating a number of best records retrieved by other applications.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the calculated master data management statistics value is associated with records being retrieved by a plurality of applications.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein records retrieved by a plurality of applications is via calls by an application programming interface.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the calculated master data management statistics value is associated with at least one of: (i) source based record distribution, (ii) region based record distribution, (iii) record cleansing data, (iv) record matching data, (vi) record duplication data, (vii) best record calculations, and (viii) a refinement rate.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the dashboard display further includes an aggregate information area, a cleanse information area, a match information area, a consume information area, a statistics start date and a statistics end date.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the statistics window is associated with a statistics start date and a statistics end date and the calculated master data management statistics value is not based on master data management that was performed before the statistics start date or after the statistics end date.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the statistics start date and the statistics end date are defined by a data steward.

8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the calculated master data management statistics value is displayed to the data steward both as a numerical value and as a graphical representation.

9. A non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing program code executable by a computer to:

receive, over a period of time, a plurality of records from a plurality of sources;

as the records are received during the period of time, matching at least some records from different sources with each other to create a best record of the at least some records;

determine, by a computer processor of a master data management statistics platform, a statistics window during the period of time;

calculate at least one master data management statistics value based on the master data management that was performed within the statistics window; and

display a dashboard display associated with the calculated master data management statistics value, the dashboard display including a consume information area indicating a number of best records retrieved by other applications.

10. The medium of claim 9 , wherein the calculated master data management statistics value is associated with records being retrieved by a plurality of applications.

11. The medium of claim 10 , wherein records retrieved by a plurality of applications is via calls by an application programming interface.

12. The medium of claim 9 , wherein the calculated master data management statistics value is associated with at least one of: (i) source based record distribution, (ii) region based record distribution, (iii) record cleansing data, (iv) record matching data, (vi) record duplication data, (vii) best record calculations, and (viii) a refinement rate.

13. The medium of claim 9 , wherein the dashboard display further includes an aggregate information area, a cleanse information area, a match information area, a consume information area, a statistics start date and a statistics end date.

14. The medium of claim 13 , wherein the statistics window is associated with a statistics start date and a statistics end date and the calculated master data management statistics value is not based on master data management that was performed before the statistics start date or after the statistics end date.

15. The medium of claim 14 , wherein the calculated master data management statistics value is displayed to the data steward both as a numerical value and as a graphical representation.

16. A system, comprising:

a plurality of input data stores to provide, over a period of time, a plurality of records associated with different sources;

a master record data store;

a master data server, coupled to the input data stores and the master record data store, to (i) receive the records from the input data stores and (ii) store master records into the master record data store the master records comprising one or more best records associated with the input data stores; and

a master data management platform, wherein the master data management platform is to:

determine a statistics window within the period of time,

calculate at least one master data management statistics value based on the master data management that was performed during the statistics window, and

display a dashboard display associated with the calculated master data management statistics value, the dashboard display including a consume information area indicating a number of best records retrieved by other applications.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the calculated master data management statistics value is associated with records being retrieved by a plurality of applications.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the records retrieved by a plurality of applications is via calls by an application programming interface.

19. The system of claim 16 , wherein the calculated master data management statistics value is associated with at least one of: (i) source based record distribution, (ii) region based record distribution, (iii) record cleansing data, (iv) record matching data, (vi) record duplication data, (vii) best record calculations, and (viii) a refinement rate.

20. The system of claim 16 , wherein the dashboard display further includes an aggregate information area, a cleanse information area, a match information area, a consume information area, a statistics start date and a statistics end date.

21. The medium of claim 20 , wherein the statistics window is associated with a statistics start date and a statistics end date defined by a data steward and the calculated master data management statistics value is displayed to the data steward both as a numerical value and as a graphical representation.
