[...] As for the acquisition’s impact on the rest of the MDM market, it’s still growing pretty quickly, but the number of players is shrinking. So I think we’ll see it become even more competitive, and with Informatica now becoming a strong player in the MDM hub market, that’s got to cool its relationship with Oracle, who selected Informatica as an OEM component of its Oracle Fusion MDM hub.

Hi Jim, great hearing from you here.

My understanding is that third party content providers like D&B will be supported in batch mode in Fusion MDM Release 1. Real-time support will follow in later releases. This is subject to change, of course.

Dan,
Thanks for sharing your Oracle Fusion MDM Hub insights – its much appreciated.

Will the MDM Hub have built-in integration to a 3rd party data source (e.g., D&B) to facilitate customer identification, or will customer identification be handled strictly internally?
Thanks again,
Jim

Thanks for the kind words, Sudeep. I think you’re right that one of the big selling factors of Fusion will be the intuitive user interface. And that people are much less forgiving now of bad user interfaces and of slower performance – the iPhone has raised the bar for everyone!

As always , nice job with your blog Dan.I “believe” the selling factor of fusion will be its cool and intuitive user interface. I’m hoping that Oracle is doing something about the performance of batch loads of Customer,Supplier, Product as well. Gone are those days when user used to sit patiently for 30 mins to load 30K records … For good or bad new generation users are all iPhone users and they want things to happen in a second of a mouse click, like the way it happens in iPhone.

Also some kind of in built feature in data profiling tools or reports which will help data stewards in data cleansing effort.
