Data management system

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A data management system is a system for the computer-aided acquisition , storage , maintenance, processing , analysis and visualization of data . It concerns the software and the database (s) that are used in an information system (computer science) . Data is used to obtain information in a given context. Therefore, the term information management system is used synonymously.

The task of the data management system is to bring data and thus information in the operational , spatial or personal information system from the information provider to the information consumer. It is therefore the mediator or the technical system for transferring information.

Today's information technology options mean that previously paper-based data is electronically managed and processed. In this way, large and complex amounts of data can be mastered. In order to manage data in addition to simple storage and to maintain a high quality of the data, aspects such as data security, consistency and freedom from redundancy are playing an increasing role.

Applications

Enterprise Resource Planning Systems (ERP) and master data management systems are of great importance .

Further applications are:

  • PDM - Product Data Management / Product Data Management has emerged from the concept of engineering data management (EDM) and describes systems for the functional management of development-related product data and coordination of processes relating to product manufacturing. The term is mainly used in the field of computer-aided design (CAD).
  • PRM - Product Resource Management is occasionally used synonymously with PIM by software providers, as is Product Content Management (PCM) - especially in England and France.
  • Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is less an information technology than a management approach to optimize product life cycles with the help of the collection and analysis of the product data that emerges over time.
  • Media Asset Management (MAM) describes the management of multimedia, unstructured objects such as images, graphics or presentations as well as meta information , i.e. data about data. The term is mainly used in the media industry. The term is not specific to PIM.
  • Cross Media Publishing (CMP) comes from the printing and advertising industry and describes the simultaneous use of different media that complement each other. In addition, it is understood to mean the cross-media multiple use of individual components such as text, images or graphics. The term is not specific to PIM.
  • MDM - Central Master Data Management is usually seen as a higher-level function of Product Information Management. Master data management includes the synchronization, harmonization and maintenance of all master data in the company. Customer, vendor and employee data are also considered as the product master data.
  • Document management systems (DMS) are responsible for the administration of more commercial documents with subsequent archiving .
  • Product data management systems (PDM) have the task of storing and managing the results of product development in defining, representative and presenting data and documents and making them available in later phases of the product life cycle. As part of the company information and coordination system, it contains methods and rules for product data management and interfaces to CAx software, ERP software, workflow management and document management systems.
  • Content management systems (CMS) are systems that provide information and content for media marketing media in the context of marketing or self-presentation. The best known are content management systems in the context of websites. The page is separated into design and content. While the design is not changed for a long time and is subject to certain guidelines, such as the corporate identity, and is therefore viewed as static, the content is subject to constant change.
  • Product information management systems (PIM) are used to manage structured data in the commercial environment in order to feed all conceivable sales channels - from the electronic catalog to the online shop to the print catalog. To do this, they use components of output management , web content management and enterprise content management as services.

Use in other areas of life

Data management systems are also used in other areas of life such as the judiciary. In Lower Saxony, authorities and business managers use a management information system. The public prosecutor's office uses InforMIS, which is based on inforPM. With JuMIS (Justice Management Information System), the ordinary jurisdiction has its own development.
