Master data is the core data that links together and integrates an organization’s application systems, information and processes. Without a “single view of the truth,” it is difficult to see how operational and analytical applications can be fully effective. This tutorial provides you with an introduction to master data management (MDM) — what it is and why it is important. It also explores what MDM should look like in different organizations and discusses best practices, ending with a discussion of the technologies and tools to enable MDM.
Key Issues:
  • What is MDM, why is it important, and how does it add value to the business and major IT initiatives?
  • What should MDM look like in your organization?
  • What best practices will help you succeed with MDM?
  • How can technology vendors and tools help achieve MDM?
