Abstract

A data processing system includes a processor and associated memory implementing an enterprise data management (EDM) module configured to interact with an enterprise management system. A storage device coupled to the processor, implements an enterprise data management (EDM) database, which stores priority rules used to determine priority scores associated with a plurality of different entities associated with entity records. A communications interface coupled to the processor, transmits the priority rules, to an enterprise management system, and receives priority scores of individual entities, determined based on the priority rules, from the enterprise management system. The priority scores of the individual entities are stored in the EDM database in association with the priority rules, and the EDM module matches the entity records to entities based, at least in part, on the priority scores of the individual entities.

Claims (52)

1. A data processing system comprising:

a processor and associated memory implementing an enterprise data management (EDM) module configured to interact with an enterprise management system;

a storage device coupled to the processor, the storage device implementing an enterprise data management (EDM) database, the EDM database configured to store priority rules used to determine priority scores associated with a plurality of different entities associated with entity records;

a communications interface coupled to the processor, the communications interface configured to:

transmit the priority rules, to an enterprise management system;

receive priority scores of individual entities of the plurality of different entities from the enterprise management system, wherein the priority scores are determined based on the priority rules;

the storage device further configured to store, in the EDM database, the priority scores of the individual entities in association with the priority rules; and

the processor and associated memory configured to use the EDM module to match the entity records to entities, wherein in the entity records are matched in an order determined, based at least in part, on the priority scores of the individual entities.

2. The data processing system of claim 1 , wherein the priority rules include one or more of a revenue parameter, an urgency parameter, and a workflow parameter.

3. The data processing system of claim 1 , wherein different priority rules are assigned different weights.

4. The data processing system of claim 1 , wherein the EDM module is further configured to obtain priority-rule modifications via user input into a graphical user interface (GUI).

5. The data processing system of claim 4 , wherein the EDM module applies the user input obtained from the GUI to match duplicate entity records to a single master record.

6. The data processing system of claim 4 , wherein the EDM module applies the priority-rule modifications at an enterprise level.

7. The data processing system of claim 1 , wherein the EDM module is further configured to:

link information associated with a first order placed by an advertiser in a first markets with a second order placed by the advertiser in a different market.

8. A method comprising:

implementing, by a processing device including a processor and associated memory, an enterprise data management (EDM) module configured to interact with an enterprise management system;

storing priority rules in an enterprise data management (EDM) database implemented at a storage device, wherein the priority rules determine priority scores associated with a plurality of different entities associated with entity records;

transmitting the priority rules to an enterprise management system;

receiving priority scores of individual entities of the plurality of different entities, from the enterprise management system, wherein the priority scores are determined based on the priority rules;

storing, in the EDM database, the priority scores of the individual entities in association with the priority rules; and

matching the entity records to entities based using the EDM module, where an order in which the entity records are matched is determined, based at least in part, on the priority scores of the individual entities.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the priority rules include one or more of a revenue parameter, an urgency parameter, and a workflow parameter.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

assigning different priority different weights.

11. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

obtaining priority-rule modifications via user input into a graphical user interface (GUI).

12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

matching duplicate entity records to a single master record by applying the user input obtained from the GUI.

13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:

applying the priority-rule modifications to the entity records at an enterprise level.

14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

linking information associated with a first order placed by an advertiser in a first markets with a second order placed by the advertiser in a different market.

15. A device comprising:

a processor;

memory coupled to the processor;

a communications interface coupled to the processor and to the memory;

the processor implementing an enterprise data management (EDM) module configured to:

interact with an enterprise management system;

store priority rules in an enterprise data management (EDM) database, wherein the priority rules determine priority scores associated with a plurality of different entities associated with entity records;

the communications interface configured to:

transmit the priority rules, to an enterprise management system;

receive priority scores of individual entities of the plurality of different entities from the enterprise management system, wherein the priority scores are determined based on the priority rules;

the EDM module further configured to:

store, in the EDM database, the priority scores of the individual entities in association with the priority rules; and

match the entity records to entities in an order determined, based at least in part, on the priority scores of the individual entities.

16. The device of claim 15 , wherein the priority rules include one or more of a revenue parameter, an urgency parameter, and a workflow parameter.

17. The device of claim 15 , wherein different priority rules are assigned different weights.

18. The device of claim 15 , wherein the EDM module is further configured to obtain priority-rule modifications via user input into a graphical user interface (GUI).

19. The device of claim 18 , wherein the EDM module applies the priority-rule modifications at an enterprise level.

20. The device of claim 15 , wherein the EDM module is further configured to:

link information associated with a first order placed by an advertiser in a first markets with a second order placed by the advertiser in a different market.
