Seminar Description

With business information spread across multiple applications, systems and databases, Master Data Management (MDM) plays a critical role in enabling organizations to create a single source of truth for streamlining trustworthy data.

But "mastering" master data — Product, Customer, Supplier, Employee etc. — isn’t easy. An effective MDM solution requires an enterprise-wide effort, stakeholder buy-in and a robust technology approach.

Many projects fail because the initiative’s scope and complexity aren’t recognized and/or the project plan doesn’t adequately map out how to overcome the challenges. Adopting MDM can also bring new obstacles, such as how to define business processes and data/technology requirements that span lines of business, divisions and geographies.

An agile approach to MDM — one that’s collaborative, iterative, focused on outcomes and aligned with Data Governance — is key to data mastery. The result? More efficient usage of scarce resources, improved operational efficiencies, higher customer satisfaction, and greater competitive gains.
