The heterogeneity of most IT environments has caused Master data management (MDM) to become a priority for large organizations. Supply chain synchronization, new product introduction, multi-channel sales and support, trade reconciliation, risk management, and compliance are just some of the drivers that are compelling companies to be more strategic about managing their information assets. When applied effectively, MDM provides a consistent source of truth for your enterprise data as well as well the synchronization and data manipulation procedures across multiple transactional systems. These techniques provide the foundation for building business applications that successfully access, synchronize and transform data across a variety of data systems without dealing with the intrinsic complexities of those processes.
At Tellago, we regularly work with customers and software vendors as lead Architects and advisors on different MDM projects. We typically leverage the principles promoted on some of our technology practices such as SOA, Information Worker or Application Integration as enablers for our MDM initiatives.
