6 Ways To Confirm Your Salesforce MDM Strategy With DataArchiva

When we were trying to better understand MDM (Master Data Management) in fabricating the best Salesforce data management feature for DataArchiva, we stumbled upon a fine simile to explain the concept to our tech-development peers.

The presentation was on babushka stacking dolls and how it closely relates to master data management in Salesforce. For those who are not familiar with the babushka doll or nesting doll concept, here is the clue. It’s a set of dolls in diminishing sizes designed to snugly fit inside each other, barring the last & the smallest one.

And, it did hit the right strings. 

The idea was to pass on the gold-standard principles of Salesforce CRM to the core tool architecture of DataArchiva. In explaining the importance of data hierarchy the Babushka dolls explained it in the most disciplined way possible –

• In order to maintain the record hierarchy the older record data always comes first (like the first and biggest doll in the set) which is less-accessed
• The hierarchical ladder is inevitable for retrieving the records
• For maintaining the stacking sequence the main unit/record is followed by a dependent record/units
• Stacking records/units in the wrong order will break the stacking flow and thereby  inevitably lead to information/data loss

Today, we are a five-star rated Salesforce data archiving application in AppExchange, known for having the most high-level architecture to support Master Data Management in Salesforce.  

Salesforce master data lays the foundation of the business process rules and functions, as it holds singular truth for the entire information collected throughout your product lifecycle. A data asset that your Salesforce provides that you never want to lose. If you are struggling to settle a unique MDM plan, you can set your standards while you are archiving Salesforce data with DataArchiva.

Here are the 6 reasons why archiving Salesforce data with DataArchiva helps you stick to MDM best practices: 

1) Meets Consistency

For a successful database transaction, one needs to meet consistency. That is when your Salesforce data is moved from the primary storage to archival destinations like Salesforce BigObject or to your own database via third-party servers (Azure, AWS, Heroku, Google Cloud or on-prem), data will remain identical. Hence DataArchiva is a trusted Salesforce connector that allows effective cross-platform communications without glitches.

2) Unmoved Data Integrity

Even if your Salesforce org has the most complex object relationships, DataArchiva can take care of all complexities under the hood. Moreover, when you archive your Salesforce data with DataArchiva it maintains the data integrity and the structure remains unmoved whether the data is residing in the live instance or is sitting at its archive destination.

3) Effective MetaData Management

As per the best practices in Salesforce data management, Metadata sync in DataArchiva is one the best features to support MDM. A synchronization practice that helps to maintain the correct object directories, even when the data is viewed from a different system. A feature to maintain and update schema changes such as the addition/removal of fields, data types, etc. automatically.

4) Bulk Compilation Capability

Salesforce master data management would have been useless if DataArchiva did not have bulk data compilation capability. Very few Salesforce data management applications come with such standard sophistication, where they can archive bulk data based on any complex filter criteria along with child relationships at any level. Viz-a-viz its archival application can also restore one single record on call or demand, right back at your live Salesforce org.

5) Data Migration Utility

If you already manage master data in Salesforce that you want to archive, DataArchiva has got you covered. The tool is supported by a robust architecture to transform large data from your primary storage and migrate them to the archival destination. DataArchiva has a superior data migration speed compared to others to make your storage management seamless. 

6) Peak Quality Data Standards

Using its encryption-at-rest feature, it encrypts your archived field data at rest for standard/custom objects. Extending the data security protocols it deploys the highest standard of encryption technology and key rotation policy so that your Salesforce data can meet its long-term retention goals.
