Master Data Management (MDM) empowers customers to collaborate and innovate with reliable master data across the organization.

Global enterprises have numerous disparate applications and systems (i.e. ERP, CRM) where data, while crossing organizational departments or divisions, can easily become duplicated, fragmented and out of date. This results in getting inaccurate answers for many basic but critical questions related to business. Data maintained by multiple stakeholders leads to unused and incorrect information in the system. Also, changes made to data at one site location remains isolated and doesn’t reflect at other site locations resulting in data discrepancies and business challenges.

Master data management (MDM), a technology-enabled discipline, helps in managing, organizing, categorizing, centralizing, synchronizing, enriching and localizing master data as per the operational strategies of the company. MDM helps centralize all the master data in one place, which is then synchronized to all enterprise applications and avoid discrepancy, inconsistency and duplication of data. Enables efficient management of master data, provides data integration for better decision making and process execution.
