Sound MDM Strategy Makes Major Contribution
Companies that invest strategically in MDM have demonstrable advantages in the market. The subsequent benefit is what differentiates successful from less successful projects. Master data management provides the following benefits:
-
MDM supports sustainable company growth:
- Creation of competitive advantages through optimum provision of data
- Support for channel management and customer care
- More targeted end consumer communication and marketing campaigns

-
Data management supports risk management by:
- Ensuring the integrity and reliability of critical data
- Use of consistent and transparent data structures
- Assessment of the possible consequences of data defects
-
MDM enables cost savings to be made due to:
- Lower data management costs (e.g. throughput times, avoiding redundancy, maintenance by third parties)
- Indirect cost savings in procurement
- Higher employee productivity (e.g. in master data maintenance and/or in projects)
- Higher data quality from day one
-
- Creation of a higher-level instance to guarantee a unique identity in a heterogeneous system environment
- Clear areas of responsibility for departments and individuals
- Reduction of duplicates
