Video Series: Episode 12 | “The key role MDM plays in managing supplier data”


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 tackle the unique challenges of managing supplier data within an MDM framework. Supplier data is often complex and inconsistent, as it originates from various external sources with different standards and processes. They discuss how MDM can bring structure to this data, using workflows, automation, and AI to improve data flow and alignment across organizations.

Key topics include:

  • Streamlining supplier data integration and aligning it with internal standards.
  • Leveraging AI to reduce manual tasks, such as auto-classifying and pre-filling data fields, making supplier collaboration smoother.
  • Practical strategies for working with suppliers to enhance data accuracy and flow without compromising speed.
  • The importance of a collaborative approach, enabling mutual business benefits through shared data quality goals.
