The Master Data Challenge


The language of doing business
Master data is stored in multiple, disconnected systems/databases Master data describes key areas of your business Customers (name, address, phone number, ) Products (product attributes, list price, ) Suppliers (parent entity, address, parts offered, ) Employees (ID, name, title, address, org unit, ), etc. Unmanaged master data is notoriously inaccurate, full of discrepancies, incomplete and leads to poor business decisions

Is this the same customer?
