Master Data Management

Because most business users ask questions such as “what’s our product profitability by market segment?” it is not enough to simply manage only product master data, or only customer master data. For accurate and consistent data to support typical BI queries such as this, you need to manage at least three different types of master data: product, customer and financial metric. That means you also need to engage with three different master data stewards, and possibly many more master data source systems. But getting rid of separate master data silos is your goal. You don’t want a separate customer master data system, and a separate product master data system, and separate systems for every other type of master data in your organization – which could number in the hundreds of different types.

You need one tool to master ALL your data. One that assumes bad data exists in your organization, and that will give you a framework for getting it right. And one that gives you graphical as well as programmatic control over the process so it can conform to your organization’s data governance policies.
