Downloading Data Model from Salesforce

In a company, you may have your own data model for your business needs. Many companies use Salesforce for managing customer data, and need to extend the TIBCO MDM service to include additional salesforce metadata. You can download you own data models from Salesforce. These data models can then be mapped to the sample data model template or you can create custom model for your TIBCO MDM service.
