APRIL 2018CIOAPPLICATIONS.COM6APRIL - 2018MDM SPECIALEditorialUnleashing the Power of DataJoe PhillipManaging Editoreditor@cioapplications.comJoe PhillipIs your enterprise data distributed across multiple systems? Does the dearth of a single source of truth of the data make your projects expensive and inaccurate? Master Data Management (MDM) is the key for organizations to ensure that the mission critical data is precise and accessible across the enterprise. With the help of MDM, organizations are able to manage the data, comprehend the customer, improve risk management, implement accurate reporting and regulatory compliance, and enhance security and data privacy.Majority of the large organizations often leverage traditional data management systems, and they often cannot jump to a non-relational graph database. Having said that, growth strategies will not be successful with only an on-premise, "single version of truth" data model either. The technologies and enterprise IT teams need to meet in the middle with an ecosystem of solutions to support both the rapid growth mindset, as well as the specific needs. Enterprises today are turning towards multi-domain MDM solutions to develop a significant links between products, consumers, suppliers, partners, and staff so that strategic decisions can be made based on authentic information. Large players in the industry are currently adopting MDM systems as the single central repository across different departments to gain visibility across the enterprise and streamline the business processes. With the centralized metadata, developers, analysts and end users can access metadata to understand the data's origins, definitions, meanings, and rules. In order to gain value out of an MDM implementation, it is essential for enterprises to focus on the business outcome they are trying to achieve rather than the latest technology trends. Our goal with this special edition is to highlight the best-of-breed master data management solution providers like Dun and Bradstreet that is helping customers manage the explosive growth of enterprise data by providing data structure and robust connectivity.Write us your thoughts.Copyright © 2018 ValleyMedia, Inc.
