Master Data Management (MDM) and Data Integrity

01

Understanding Master Data Management

Master Data Management (MDM) covers all the processes and technological tools to build a unified view of the company's master data.

MDM focuses on ensuring the consistency and quality of data for operations and decision-making completeness, reliability, and timeliness.

Today, the same data is duplicated, shared, or re-entered on various applications across different departments of the company. The MDM system makes it possible to identify, clean and standardize data in order to create reference data : single, complete and up-to-date version (golden record).

Master Data Management (MDM) and Data Integrity

Most MDM solutions offer the following features :

Data administration

  • Rights and Privacy Management
  • Metadata Management
  • Versioning
  • Data lifecycle management (from entry to validation)

Data enhancement

  • Manipulation of unstructured data (Big Data)
  • Access to external data sources (Customer data, Markets, ...)

Data quality

  • Handling duplicates and inconsistencies
  • Traceability and audit trails

Data integration

  • Services for collecting and sharing reference data (ETL, Web Services, etc.)

In the era of Big Data, hyper-personalization, and the evolution of regulatory contexts (GDPR, IFRS, ...), MDM is an essential tool for CIOs wishing to bring value and impact both internally and to customers.
