xxii Enterprise Data Governance

“interoperability” of heterogeneous databases and
applications.

To my “beginners” experience, Pierre Bonnet has provided
the SOA “basics” and he has promised the next and
complementary book on MDM “all-you-can-eat”. The MDM
Alliance Group (MAG) is the “place to be” and to discuss the
future and mature MDM, tied to help business to seamlessly
integrate and inter-operate data and information. Thank you
Pierre!”

“Pierre is an expert in the MDM domain and understands
well the intersection of SOA and MDM which is a rapidly
emerging topic in Company Architecture. His work on
“Sustainable IT Architecture” is an important contribution to
the field. As more companies seek to extract the maximum
business value of the existing and ongoing investments in IT,
the sustainability model helps to coordinate stakeholders
and to establish a higher level of functioning for today’s
much maligned IT department. The integration of MDM into
the SOA conversation reflects a mature understanding of the
reality of Company complexity, but also provides a path
forward for Architects and Practitioners alike.”

“Pierre has delivered, over a few short years, an
impressive amount of guidance and best practices, be it with
his colleagues at the Praxeme Institute, or by founding the
Sustainable IT Architecture and MDM Alliance Group
communities.
