My question about what the best , tried and tested (and new?) methods out

  • 0

My question about what the best , tried and tested (and new?) methods out there to do a fairly common requirement in most companies.
Every company has customers. And lets say a company A has about 10 different systems for its business needs.Customer is critical to all systems.
Customer can be maintained in any of the systems independently but if they fall out of sync then it’s not good. I know it’s ideal to keep one big master place/System for customer record and have all other systems take that information from that single location/system.
How do you build something like this.. SOA? ETLs? Webservice? Etc.. any other ideas out there that are new … and not to forget old methods.
We are a MS / .NET shop. This is mostly for my knowledge and learning.. please point me in right direction and I want to be aware of all my options.

    Ideally all your different systems would share the same database, in which case that database would be the master. However that’s almost never the case.

    So the most common method I’ve seen is to have yet another system (lets call it a data warehouse) that takes feeds from your 10 different systems, aggregates them together, and forms a “master” view of a customer.
