What is master data management?

Master data management focuses on the merging of customer and transaction records shared by disparate, often legacy sources and systems, into one accurate, reliable master file.

Too many organisations lack an accurate view of their customers, suppliers or products. Adding new applications and systems or merging data following an acquisition exacerbates the problem and causes doubt and indecision about the overall view of the organisation.

By not paying sufficient attention to master data management, organisations are presented with an inaccurate view of business performance, leading to missed sales opportunities and increased costs.

The challenge is not only to create the master file of accurate data, but also to accurately maintain the master data, and create a common method for users to retrieve the information via their own diverse applications.

Perhaps there is a different approach to master data management where all the data can be left where it is and linked together so that MDM can be provided on the fly?
