How To Communicate The Business Value Of Master Data Management
ITProToday, Friday, February 28th, 2025
To secure investment and support, organizations must align MDM with strategic goals, prioritize KPIs, and model business impacts to demonstrate its tangible value.
Mature data-driven organizations recognize the benefits of having a trusted enterprise-wide view of essential identifiers and attributes that describe an enterprise's core entities, also known as master data, for customers, suppliers, products, and materials. Master Data Management (MDM) is a technology-enabled business discipline in which business and IT collaborate to ensure the consistency, accuracy, and governance of an organization's core data assets.
Despite improvements, data and analytics (D&A) leaders often fail to measure the business impact of their MDM programs, affecting both the perceived value and investment in this crucial governance initiative.
