Fastman Bulk Data Manager (Business View)
- 2. The Data Challenge Content Server is a system intended to process and manage large volumes of data But it provides limited tools to do this effectively
- 3. The Traditional Responses • Pass problem back to users – Make changes one document at a time (click, click, click…) • Pass problem to system administrators – Create and run scripts – Use Object Importer (needs scripting and data conversion) • Use extract / import type tools – Simple approach, but… – Disconnected from business rules and system controls – Users require at least some technical knowledge – Generally requires user and administrator involvement
- 4. The Management Challenge Business users and their knowledge are distributed. Definition of process and governance is centralised. Business users need tools that help them do their job – how, where and when they need it done. Businesses need to ensure policy and processes are complied with.
- 5. The Traditional Responses • Ignore the problem – It’s just “noise”, no priority, etc…. • Blame the software – “Why won’t it do this already?” / “Let's try something else” • Separate process from data – Export, import data and/or metadata • Separate data from controls – “but what about compliance….and the audit trail….?”

Editor's Notes
- #5: Its highly inefficient implementing processes and tools that don’t respect and work with the typical business model of a medium to large organisation. In most organisations that operate across multiple locations, the data is also distributed across multiple locations or at the very least the control and processing of that data is distributed across multiple locations. Indeed, in many industries there is a strong push to enable business to operate across geographies and in a mobile model. Business systems need to respect and support this, even when the data repository is centrally located to
