Idea for a MDM App!!!

Indiblogger recently organized an event with the aid of Nokia.

Your wish is my App II, a Nokia IndiBlogger meet


Well It was really good to see such an event for such a technical brainstorming.
This blog post is all about my idea about an app which can really help us out in many areas.
I am referring from taking surveys ,polls to collecting funds and really large chunk of raw data.
I want an app on Master Data Managemnt

MDM may be many different things. For me it’s about Master Data Management and for others it’s about Mobile Device Management.
A recent twitter chat session organized by Gartner (the analyst firm) had the tag #GartnerMDM. It was about Master Data Management but of course there also were questions about Mobile Device Management.

And sure. One of the foremost technology trends being mobile doesn’t have the same attention as other hyped trends like big, social and cloudy within this MDM, but mobile may actually also play a role within master data management.
In my current work within data quality and master data management. I have been thinking of some business cases around an App for this MDM. It has for example been aiming at getting it first time right when NGOs are finding new members on the street and when energy retailers are on boarding new customers on the street.

So what are some of the main advantages of having a mobile app for MDM? Here are some of the interesting usages to start off with
  1. Provide a search page which uses MDM’s fuzzy matching capabilities to display records meeting the search criteria.Mobile App
  2. Role based access and interface which adapts to the user based on the functionality he/she is granted.
  3. Tasks appearing as notifications based on the role of the user. Specifically in the product data management where items are collectively authored.
  4. Ability to analyze and compare records side by side and option to merge duplicate records. (Bingo – I fixed data issues from my tablet sitting at Starbucks – How cool!)
  5. Access to reference data, check correctness of all possible values for a given code type.
  6. Enable access to master data without exposing corporate network and risking data leakage.
  7. Ability to wipe and lockout data in the event device is lost or stolen.
The important factor to consider is the sensitivity of the data accessed from the mobile devices.

MDM app should also be made available in more than one mobile operating system; you don’t want to kill the fan boys after all ;)

DOXING - New Internet Problem

In the modern world, Internet has become a wonderful place to gain knowledge, exchange ideas, share information, make new friends and whatnot. Even though, you can do all of this by remaining anonymous behind your monitor, your real life identity and personal details can still be at the risk of falling into the hands of strangers. This is where the term “ doxing ” comes into play! What is Doxing? Doxing  simply refers to the process of gathering or deducing other people’s information such as name, age, email, address, telephone number, photographs etc. using publicly available sources such as the Internet. In other words, doxing is the act of using the Internet to search for personal details about a person. Doxing is done by initially taking a piece of information (such as “name” or “email address”) and keeping it as a base to find out other possible details about the person. The term “doxing” is derived from the word “document tracing” which means to retrieve documen...

Alien Abduction

Continuous bad news, about the weather, the economic climate and disastrous wars, dominate the media but what is not being reported is that  U.F.O.  sightings are occurring on a daily basis.  Many of these sightings have a plausible explanation but some of the UFO’s appear to be under intelligent control, such as  secret government projects.  Could it be, though, that others are guided by aliens? Attitudes towards the existence of aliens are changing.  Children, in their films, and games, are made aware of their existence from an early age and T.V documentaries about possible alien visitations, in the Early World, are now treated more seriously than in the past.  The attitude of the Catholic Church has also changed dramatically since 1614 when it forbade Galileo from teaching the Copernican theory that the sun was at the centre of the solar system. The Vatican now operates its own observatory and, in an interview on the RAI 1 programme, ‘Specialet...
