WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO KNOW ABOUT MDM?
How does MDM function?
Master Data Management is the centralized organization of all of your company’s data. Here, three aspects you’ll have to keep in mind.
Multi-Domain Versus Single-Domain MDM
When talking about MDM nowadays, you’re usually referring to “Multi-Domain Master Data Management.” Contrary to systems for “Single-Domain Master Data Management”, such systems manage data from multiple — or, ideally, all — fields and areas. Single-domain systems, for example, focus on a specialized field such as PIM or CRM.
Multi-Domain MDM Software does not Replace All Systems
This type of software is not developed to the end that you will only use one system for all your company’s business decisions. MDM is only one kind of data storage and has, as a rule, little to no domain-specific functions. That is to say, it cannot generate invoices out of offers or classify product data by industry standards such as ECLASS. Such specialized tasks are still executed within dedicated systems the data of which is mirrored in the MDM system.
The Advantages of Multi-Domain MDM Systems
Without MDM software, your subject-specific data remains dispersed over various applications or, perhaps, even simple MS Excel tables – so that comprehensive oversight of customers or products is not possible without significant effort. The main goal of Multi-Domain MDM systems is to dissolve unordered data clusters, unifying them and bringing them into relation.
