What is Master Data Management?

Otherwise understood as creating a ‘single version of the truth’, master data management is the discipline through which your master data can be ensured to be of high quality and fit for your business needs. Master data management helps businesses remove data silos and achieve a source of master data for the entire business to utilise. The result is master data – be it customer, product, employee or other records – that supplies the same, accurate information wherever it is accessed.

Master data management is carried out not only through MDM technology but with the assistance of experts, like Amplifi to ensure that you consider every component for success. We formulate a strategy based not only on how your data is processed but on its role within your business.
