Master data management (MDM) ensures accuracy, consistency, and uniformity of a company's data.
MDM is important for breaking down data silos, avoiding discrepancies, and informed decision-making.
It acts as a single source of truth and offers a holistic and up-to-date view of business data.
MDM synchronizes data changes across all systems in case of customer updates thereby avoiding costly errors.
MDM ensures accuracy, consistency, and integrity of master data throughout its entire life cycle, including validation and deprecation of records.
Challenges in implementing MDM include data literacy, governance, ownership, and data protection.
MDM's cross-domain management ability can benefit all industries.
A system of record is a centralized repository where critical business data is stored and managed, and is closely tied to MDM.
Master data consists of key business entities amidst various data domains including party, reference, location, financial, and revenue.
