InfoSphere MDM Enterprise Viewer basics

Use Enterprise Viewer to retrieve and view member record data.

The problem of duplicate identification numbers and records is magnified when multiple source systems manage different aspects of your organization's business. With potentially millions of records in combined databases, it can be difficult to search for and retrieve a specific member.

Your job is made easier when you can see an accurate, 360-degree picture of a member, and the software and InfoSphere® MDM Enterprise Viewer work together to do just that. When you request a search or retrieve in InfoSphere MDM Enterprise Viewer, the criteria is passed to the software. The algorithm, which is configured specifically for your data and business environment, compares the criteria against records that originate from your source systems to find the member records that match best. Those records are returned to Enterprise Viewer.

InfoSphere MDM Enterprise Viewer assists accurate data retrieval by achieving the following objectives:

• Provides enterprise access to data;
• Provides an intuitive and simple process for retrieving and selecting the best candidate record;
• Ranks the possible matches in order of the likelihood of representing the correct member; and
• Provides a level of confidence for each possible match that is presented.
