Hierarchy MDM

From departmental organization charts to financial accounting charts, data that graphically illustrates relationships is hierarchy data. webMethods OneData allows you to easily view and manage hierarchy data using graphical representations of the data.

OneData also lets you take “point-in-time” snapshots and maintain versions of your hierarchy data so you can easily analyze and compare “what-if” scenarios and manage ongoing changes without making changes to your data.

Hierarchy data is commonly used in:

• Finance—to see risk and exposure to a particular client or counterparty as well as for reporting and general ledger systems
• Pharmaceuticals—for aggregate physician spend compliance, affiliations management or to view relationships among clinical trial entities
• Human resources—to view and manage employees and reporting structures
• Sales—to view and manage territories and related sales people
• Insurance—to flexibly manage ongoing changes in group relationships and affiliations among customers, sales agents and brokers
• Analytical systems for building views—for example, transaction data across customers, products and locations
• Manufacturing—to manage distribution channels, such as direct sales, partners and resellers, as well as to manage products across multiple divisions, departments and regions
