Its a review about this product

(disclosure: I was one of the review team and assisted with certain MDM aspects).

Data Governance is vital to the success of master data management (MDM) projects - both initially and ongoing. During 2011-12, Global 5000 size enterprises will increasingly mandate that "no MDM program be funded without the pre-requisite Data Governance framework."

"Go governance, go early" is the rallying cry of savvy enterprise and solution architects who are chartered with the setting the scope and direction of their enterprise's data integration programs. Understanding the scope, diversity and integration challenges is tremendously challenging.

Nonetheless, business and IT leadership chartered with defining and executing MDM programs need help to understand and navigate through the numerous Data Governance options.

Enterprise Architects, Solutions Architects, Directors of Data Governance, MDM Program Management, etc. - all are encouraged to get a fast track to "Go early, go governance" by reading and applying these excellent best practices, accelerators, and models gleaned by Sunil Soares in this much needed introduction to enterprise-strength Data Governance.

Given IBM's "embarrassment of riches" in its diverse and deep Data Governance portfolio, Sunil's book does a great service in brining the various piece parts together as a "unified" process ... and in turn, calling out which IBM software components address which processes.
