Calling all master data management software suppliers

Attention all open source software (OSS) projects and organizations: I am researching the next in a series of OSS-related research articles for ebizQ.

This month we are looking for open-source software and projects specific to master data management (MDM). I think of it as middleware but you might think of it as an application. Let me know what you think either way.

The article is tentatively scheduled for release in July 2008. It will be similar to recent ebizQ reports on open source event processing software and industry-specific OSS (ebizQ Gold Club membership required but there is no charge to join). Your company’s or project's product(s) may be mentioned based on my secondary research but if you would like to formally participate, please download and return the attached 1-page survey form by Friday June 20, 2008 to dennis@ebizq.net.

If you do not offer such software but have a partner that uses your OSS product to develop an MDM capability, pass this on (and let me know your partner’s company or project name). The partner can be a systems integrator or other type of services provider. OSS service providers, let me know what you are doing as well although the survey form might not be approrpiate. Just describe your activity in an email to dennis@ebizQ.net. Open source software delivered as a service (SaaS) will also be covered.

Note that as the survey indicates, software products will be covered in the report if they use OSS (e.g., bundle in an OSS application server product such as JBoss) even if they are not “sold” as OSS themselves and no matter how they are monetized.
