Technology is a key enabler of a master data management (MDM) program. MDM processes discover, acquire, integrate, transform, protect, preserve, and move master data. To support these processes, technology tools must include a wide range of features and functions. Selecting the right tools for your MDM program requires an understanding of the capabilities that should be addressed when evaluating options. This level of understanding is required whether you’re considering a build-your-own solution or purchasing vendor-provided tools. In this tutorial, we’ll deep-dive into technology-related requirements and capabilities for a holistic 360-degree approach to managing master data. Covered topics include: 

  • Multi-domain support 
  • Record matching and linking
  • MDM architecture styles
  • Data quality verification and reconciling 
  • Master data governance technology 
  • Master data metadata management technology
  • Master data industry exchanges
  • User interfaces
  • Globalization
