Master Data Management

What is MDM?

Any business process can benefit from MDM, simply because all applications rely on master data. The master data is what powers everything from financial reporting to customer information, and when the data is managed properly with a strong MDM solution, your company reaps the full value of both the applications and the enterprise’s data. Think better decision-making, increased operational effectiveness, improved customer satisfaction, and higher revenue and profits.

Specifically, with a solid MDM solution, business processes can benefit greatly with the following

Risk Management

Market volatility, cybersecurity breaches, and even foreign government instability are all contributing to increased business risk. To mitigate that risk, you need to understand it – and it’s all available in data to help, if used correctly. MDM makes it possible to understand every facet of the data, from its origins to its modifications.

Financial Reporting

Increasingly, regulators and executives alike want accurate, timely reports in as near real-time as possible. Without an agile MDM system, however, the data in those reports is often flawed and needs to be checked manually.

Regulatory Compliance

HIPAA, SOX, and others – it’s a veritable alphabet soup of regulations, and they seem to change daily as court cases and regulatory agencies act on new scenarios. Being able to produce accurate reports is more important than ever, whether the regulatory agency deals with the environment, taxes, employment, consumer protection, import/export, or employees. MDM helps enterprises stay on the right side of regulators, whether the regulations are voluntary, like the Basel frameworks, or mandatory.

Customer Care and Notifications

The importance of complete, accurate customer records cannot be emphasized enough. In addition to customer service, warranty information, and upselling opportunities, customer records are required for product recalls. Inaccurate data could lead to unnecessary liability, and MDM is required to ensure customers are notified promptly.That’s only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to MDM’s benefits. Everything from optimizing the supply chain to reducing labor costs can be boiled down to the need for accurate data. Considering the volume of data within an organization, it can no longer be managed manually.
