About the Webinar
Data tends to pile up and can be rendered unusable or obsolete without careful maintenance processes. Reference and Master Data Management (MDM) has been a popular Data Management approach to effectively gain mastery over not just the data but the supporting architecture for processing it from a master/transaction perspective. This webinar presents MDM as a strategic approach to improving and formalizing practices around those data items that provide context for organizational transactions – its master data. Too often, MDM has been implemented technology-first and achieved the same very poor track record (1/3 succeeding on-time, within budget, achieving planned functionality). MDM success depends on a coordinated approach involving typically Data Governance and Data Quality activities. Program learning objectives include:
- Understanding foundational reference and MDM concepts
- Why they are an important component of your Data Architecture
- Awareness of Reference and MDM Frameworks and building blocks
- What consists of MDM guiding principles and best practices
- How to utilize Reference and MDM in support of business strategy
