IA Manager is a flexible mapping & metadata system that provides a way for you to not only map from one system to another through a true canonical model but maintains changes across your different systems.

IA Manager
By mapping to a central domain, the number of transformations of data from one system to another is drastically reduced. For instance, customer may be defined in different formats in several different systems. You would map each customer to the one definition in the canonical and let a model manager handle the movement of data through this filter.

By mapping to a central canonical you have:

Simple access to all your data source

Agility. The traditional point to point model creates undocumented dependencies numerous and monolithic. With a single canonical model,  users can see how data is mapped in the enterprise and perform mapping themselves.

Reduced costs. The benefit of canonical integration through reduced dependencies, means less staff required to maintain those dependencies which in turn also means change management is greatly simplified

In addition, because other systems map to the canonical and not to each other, a change at the canonical can propagate out to all systems that use it. Additionally, IA manager can maintain feeds to transformation tools like Informatica so the integration of data is complete.

 

Discovering Data with IA Manager

          Document all data elements across the enterprise – a ‘canonical’.

          Give Business the control of the data.

          Central understanding of terms across Business and IT

          Business Driven Integration – BA’s create Canonical and Mappings

IA Manager Concepts

IA Manager has 5 Central components, each designed to fulfill a mapping process.

 IA modeler is shown below This is where business analysts will map from one database, reporting system etc. to the other. Once that relationship is established, the user will be able create reports directly from the different databases where relationships have been defined.
