Hi Simon,

CIQ specifications are a good place to start for "party master data management" and customer is a type of party. Let me see whether I can dig out any material. But you do not need a material specific to CIQ to explain this. Any MDM focussing on party/customer could be used top explain the concept with implementation of the data model for customer/party being the CIQ.

Hi Kumar,

Have stumbled across the CIQ whilst doing some research for a bit of work I am piloting. I have been asked to do a bit of investigation into the benefits of developing a canonical data model for Customer Master Data, that would hold true for a number of very independent business units that sit within our parent company. Whilst there is some integration between the applications that sit within each business unit, there is little sharing of this master data between different applications between business units. This is often because the overlap between business units is minimal and managed by exception where it does exist.

 

There feels like there is value in developing a common model, and from what I have seen, CIQ seems to be a great place to start.

 

Before I found it we were looking to develop a Conceptual data model and expand this into a logical data model for Customer Master data. Do you have any material that might help to articulate the use of the CIQ in this context?

 

Hope you can help.

 

Best Regards

Simon
