What You'll Learn
Quick question: Are you using Oracle Universal Customer Master (UCM) to manage your critical customer data? So are many businesses. But we’d like to communicate one hard truth – legacy MDM systems like Oracle UCM weren’t designed for the scale, speed, and intelligence that modern enterprises like yours demand today. Cloud adoption is accelerating. AI is an imperative for businesses. And please note that on-premises solutions are becoming blockers, not enablers. At LumenData, we’ve worked with several enterprises in the same position. And if you’re planning to migrate from Oracle UCM to Informatica SaaS MDM, you’re making the right move.
LumenData’s exclusive guide will provide you with strategic steps and practical advice to ensure your migration to Informatica SaaS MDM is smooth, secure, and built to drive long-term value.
Why Move Away from Oracle UCM
Let’s start with the “why.” There’s no doubt that Oracle UCM was once the gold standard for customer data mastering in on-premises environments. But times have changed. Today you need:
- Cloud-first data architecture with no hardware overhead.
- AI-driven matching and survivorship.
- Native integrations with modern CRMs, ERPs, and customer apps.
- Scalability across your business domains.
Oracle has now been focusing on Fusion Applications and Cloud CX. What could this mean? UCM might not be at their innovation forefront.
Why Informatica SaaS MDM Is the Right Choice
Informatica’s Intelligent MDM SaaS delivers a powerful cloud-native platform that’s fit for modern data governance, real-time data access, and intelligent automation. The solution provides you with a modern cloud experience. It is easy to manage and accelerates your business outcomes. One thing to note about Informatica SaaS MDM is that it’s the only offering that helps you manage all domains of master data in a single SaaS solution. Informatica offers microservice architecture and AI capabilities to automate the procedure of mastering data.
With Informatica Intelligent MDM, you get more than you can imagine. You get an extensive list of prebuilt connectors to integrate and share your master data anywhere, data discovery, data profiling, data cataloging, data discovery, data integration, data match and merge, data survivorship, process management, data stewardship, data governance, data privacy, data security, and more.

Breakdown of the strategy for migrating from Oracle UCM to Informatica SaaS MDM:
- Discovery & Oracle UCM environment assessment
The first step is to assess your current Oracle UCM setup. The assessment involves evaluating data models, data quality rules, metadata structures, and business processes.
- Data model & metadata replication
Your existing Oracle UCM tables and metadata are mapped to Informatica SaaS MDM equivalents. LumenData’s proprietary tools ensure nothing gets lost in translation.
- Golden record migration
Customer profiles, XREFs, and the UCM Golden IDs are migrated and preserved as Master IDs in the new system.
- Attribute & rule mapping
All standardization and data cleansing rules are reverse-engineered and rebuilt in Informatica Data Quality. We also map every attribute to its correct place in the new SaaS model.
- Reference data & validation setup
Reference data is migrated, and matching/survivorship rules are configured based on trust scores and data governance best practices.
- Integration planning
We set up inbound and outbound integrations to ensure your connected systems such as CRM, ERP, and customer portals are synced smoothly with the new Informatica MDM platform.
- Initial & incremental data loads
We execute a series of clean, validated data loads to move master data safely. This includes several iterations to test performance and accuracy.
- Final cutover
Once everything is validated, we go live. This is done with a carefully planned inbound/outbound cutover plan to ensure business continuity.
