Overview

This course is designed for anyone who wants to get an understanding of the InfoSphere MDM Architecture (including the Virtual and Physical Hubs).  This course walks the students through the major components of the InfoSphere MDM and how each component interacts.  Students will learn how InfoSphere MDM responds once a service is invoked and the the various configuration and extension points of a service.  The course is used as an introduction to various components that make up the MDM Architecture and prepares the students to identify how MDM will fit into their organization and what pieces may be customized to fit their business requirements.
