Maintain Data Sovereignty Requirements

Profisee SaaS is securely hosted on the Azure cloud and is available in multiple global Azure geographies, including availability zones in the US, Canada, the UK, the EU and Australia.

Turn-Key SaaS MDM

Architected for the Cloud from the Ground-Up

Lift-and-shift cloud migrations focus on taking existing applications and migrating them to the cloud with no changes to their underlying architecture.  Because they were not architected for the cloud, they require substantial maintenance and fail to utilize the full security and performance advantages offered by the cloud.

Profisee MDM is architected as a fully containerized, multi-tenant, cloud-native application built on Kubernetes clusters to make the most of the elasticity, availability and scalability of Azure. We handle maintenance so you can focus on what you do best.

Frequently Asked Questions

Master data management (MDM) architecture — perhaps more commonly known as an implementation style refers to the way an MDM tool like Profisee interacts with other systems across an organization’s technology landscape. Not to be confused with the architecture of the MDM tool itself, master data management architecture in this context represents a broader view and includes multiple large systems, such as ERP, CRM and data lakes/warehouses. 

In general, there are four different architectures, or implementation styles, that an MDM tool follows: 

  • Registry: The MDM tool acts as a central reference point for master data definitions and attributes but doesn’t store the actual data itself. This architecture is a scalable, low-risk approach to implementing MDM, but it only allows for updating master data one way and doesn’t offer much control. 
  • Consolidated: The MDM tool acts as a central hub, absorbing data from multiple sources and creating a golden record for entities in each data domain used. This architecture typically results in high data quality and improved reporting and analytics but has the potential for disrupting downstream systems and is mostly used for analysis use cases. 
  • Coexistence: The MDM tool also acts as a central hub in a coexistence architecture, but while master data resides in the hub, source systems retain operational data and handle transactions. This is a flexible approach that allows for a phased implementation while improving data quality, but it is typically more complex and expensive to pull off. 
  • Centralized: The MDM tool acts as a hub and becomes the single source of truth for all master data. Data is then distributed to operational systems. This architecture offers the most control and consistency but is also one of the more expensive options presented here and runs the risk of significantly disrupting the business during implementation. 

Ultimately, the best MDM architecture depends on what you’re hoping to achieve with MDM. Are you looking to execute an analytical or an operational use case? Where should your master data be persisted? Choosing an MDM architecture is a critical step in the early stages of starting an MDM program, so it’s important to do so carefully.
