MASTER DATA MANAGEMENT

MANAGE YOUR
DATA AND INCREASE
CONSISTENCY

Do you have multiple versions of data in your organization that are not necessarily wrong but just different? Will bringing this data together and combining it into one fact provide you with a consistent view of the truth?

Data in your organization is scattered over a multitude of source ranging from erp  and crm systems to spreadsheets on your own laptop. Because this data is used across your entire organization it is important to have a single and 360 view of it. Equally important is to understand is the relationships between the data sets. You achieve this by creating and managing master records of your data.

MASTERDATA

Masterdata is data that describes the core of your organizations data assets. Organizations may designate different kinds of data as master data but in general master data is about customers, products, employees, parties (suppliers), parts, and assets. It is the data that your organization cannot do without to run your business.

Reference Data

Reference data is a subset of master data that classifies data like postal codes, cost centers, financial hierarchies, or countries. It refers to the data that defines the set of permissable values to be used by other data fields. Generally it is data that is static or changes very slowly over time. Other systems that use this data can use the reference data.

This is impossible without reliable data. We are therefore extremely data-driven.”
