In this IBM® Redbooks® publication we describe a centralized reporting and alerting system for governmental social service organizations. We include information about how to integrate key IBM building blocks to bring social services data sources together into an effective structure that allows for reporting on key metrics required by higher levels of government to help secure funding for reporting on the effectiveness of the various social service programs, and to give case workers and care providers quick and easy access to all the services ever provided to a person and their family, which can aid in the reduction of duplicate persons, and therefore, payments, in addition to reducing fraud and abuse of social services funds. The target customers for this solution are state or county social service organizations responsible for services, such as these: Caring for the welfare of children Caring for the adult and aging Getting people back to work who have fallen on hard times The intent of this book is to provide information to help with building your own similar system. We have also included an appendix containing information about the IBM Government Industry Framework and services for additional guidance and use.

The Only Complete Technical Primer for MDM Planners, Architects, and Implementers Companies moving toward flexible SOA architectures often face difficult information management and integration challenges. The master data they rely on is often stored and managed in ways that are redundant, inconsistent, inaccessible, non-standardized, and poorly governed. Using Master Data Management (MDM), organizations can regain control of their master data, improve corresponding business processes, and maximize its value in SOA environments. Enterprise Master Data Management provides an authoritative, vendor-independent MDM technical reference for practitioners: architects, technical analysts, consultants, solution designers, and senior IT decisionmakers. Written by the IBM® data management innovators who are pioneering MDM, this book systematically introduces MDM’s key concepts and technical themes, explains its business case, and illuminates how it interrelates with and enables SOA. Drawing on their experience with cutting-edge projects, the authors introduce MDM patterns, blueprints, solutions, and best practices published nowhere else—everything you need to establish a consistent, manageable set of master data, and use it for competitive advantage. Coverage includes How MDM and SOA complement each other Using the MDM Reference Architecture to position and design MDM solutions within an enterprise Assessing the value and risks to master data and applying the right security controls Using PIM-MDM and CDI-MDM Solution Blueprints to address industry-specific information management challenges Explaining MDM patterns as enablers to accelerate consistent MDM deployments Incorporating MDM solutions into existing IT landscapes via MDM Integration Blueprints Leveraging master data as an enterprise asset—bringing people, processes, and technology together with MDM and data governance Best practices in MDM deployment, including data warehouse and SAP integration
