Master data management (MDM) is a strategic, competitive business strategy. Is your business looking for new ways to drive down costs or enable better regulatory compliance? what about enabling growth as the economic upturn comes or when M&A (mergers and acquisitions) are on the horizon? Whether increase revenue, improving risk management and compliance, optimizing operation efficiencies, or strategically differentiating an organization from its competitors, MDM is widely recognized at the executive level as a compelling proposition. It's usually manifested in a strategic business initiative called a single view of the customer or some similar names.
