Welcome to the next episode in our video series in partnership with Stibo Systems, where we discuss the ongoing modernization of Master Data Management (MDM).

In this episode we hear from Chris Colyar, Chief Technology Officer at Amplifi, and Nils Pedersen, SVP Product Management at Stibo Systems as they address some of the common myths and misconceptions that have arisen over the decades MDM has existed.

MDM sits within an industry that is moving at breakneck speed, as the way that companies manage and use their data is continually evolving. MDM is at the core of data management, with Gartner consistently emphasising its importance for data integrity and business success.

What’s in this episode?

In this episode, Chris and Nils address a common question: If your business already has an ERP system, why do you need Master Data Management (MDM)?

Through real-world examples and insights, they explain the complementary roles of ERP and MDM, and why both are essential for data governance and business success. With most organizations managing multiple ERP systems, MDM provides a unified approach to governing core datasets across all systems.

Key topics include:

  • The critical role MDM plays in ensuring a consistent core dataset across multiple ERP systems.
  • How MDM handles data governance, validation, and workflows, while ERP focuses on transactional operations.
  • Why MDM and ERP are designed to work together, not replace each other.
  • Practical examples of how MDM supports ERP upgrades and future-proofs your data management strategy.
