Hyperion Master Data Management.

Hyperion's Master Data Management gives its customers a significant advantage when implementing a Business Performance Management solution, according to a recent article published by leading UK analyst group, Bloor Research.

'There was one element of Hyperion System 91 that is almost unique amongst these (BPM) vendors and which creates a significant market advantage for Hyperion,' wrote Bloor Research analyst Philip Howard. 'This is the introduction of Master Data Management (MDW as part of the platform."

Hyperion System 9 is the most comprehensive performance management solution ever and the fast to integrate financial management applications with a BI platform into a modular system that will adapt to any business need. This comprehensive, integrated solution delivers consistent visibility of past, present and future business operations, enabling sustained improvement in business performance, present and future business operations, enabling sustained improvement in business performance.

Hyperion System 9 Master Data Management synchronizes BPM master data--such as business dimensions, reporting structures, hierarchies, attributes and business rules--across distributed data warehouses, data marts, analytic applications, and transaction systems. It is offered within the foundation services layer of Hyperion System 9 and empowers business users to directly manage complex, rapidly changing master data-technology.

'For the moment, this feature of Hyperion System 9 gives the company a very significant advantage over its closest rivals,' wrote Howard 'in particular, the difficulty involved in implementing change without the benefit of MDM can be so great that companies are sometimes prepared to implement sub-optional plans rather than go through the pain of making these changes. With System 9 and MDM that need never be the case.'
