MDM is a long-term commitment, so organizations must use a best-of-breed solution that not just supports their main data domains, but any number of data domains. Kano MDM is just that kind of solution.
There is a unique implementation model for Kano MDM, which minimizes project risks and ensures customers’ success. The main recommendation is to start with a pilot project, which automates the data stewardship processes of several domains and integration with several information systems. A pilot project can be a solid foundation for the full-scale implementation project.
During Kano MDM implementation it is possible to get training for the customer’s experts, which allows to solve or even prevent a significant part of the master data management issues and application integration questions by customers’ own efforts. Of course, maintenance services may be provided to customers that include technical assistance and software updates.
Kano MDM can support a variety of further initiatives in Master Data Management.
How to start with Kano MDM
MDM is a long-term commitment, so organizations must use a best-of-breed solution that not just supports their main data domains, but any number of data domains. Kano MDM is just that kind of solution. Kano MDM offers PoCs and strives to organize ideal conditions for easy implemеntation.
We have developed a unique implementation model for Kano MDM, which minimizes project risks and ensures customers’ success. The main recommendation is to start with a pilot project, which automates the data stewardship processes of several domains and integrativon with several information systems. A pilot project can be a solid foundation for the full-scale implementation project.
During Kano MDM implementation it is possible to get training for the customer’s experts, which allows to solve or even prevent a significant part of the master data management issues and application integration questions by customers’ own efforts. Of course, we provide maintenance services to our customers that include technical assistance and software updates.

Implementation steps
1. Discovery
Project requirements are analyzed and implementation specifications prepared during this phase. We provide a questionnaire that can be a starting point of the discovery stage. Usually, we implement PoC before signing a contract with a customer.
2. Launch
With the contract signed we start the phase of preparing for implementation. We help your organization to assemble the best project team, develop an implementation plan, verify business processes, collect all data and information about APIs. During this phase, DEV/TEST/PROD infrastructure is set up and configured for automatic solution delivery.
3. Configuration
We configure catalogs and security settings, visual representation of the data, data stewardship processes, data quality rules using Kano MDM UI tools. Data migration and cleansing also take place during this step. Initial data is loaded from existing data sources and cleansed.
4. Integration
Kano MDM has a built-in universal API based on Web- and REST-services to integrate with external applications. If this API is used, no development effort is required. A customer can connect applications using this API. In some other cases, adapters to connect to external systems should be developed.
5. Test & Go-live
Kano MDM configuration passes functional and integration tests. User acceptance tests take place on this stage. Training are delivered to a customer project team and as well as help in the transition from training and testing to real use.
6. Maintenance
It is possible to get remote support services via email, issue tracker, and phone to authorized specialists of the partner or customer. Maintenance includes software updates (new releases, and bug fixes) provided to the customer.
