  • Description: As companies tackle today's business challenges, many are facing the hard truth that they need to go back to the mountains of poorly managed customer, product, supplier and employee data that has accumulated over the years and make some sense of it. That's where master data management (MDM) comes in. Trying to define MDM tends to trigger arguments among vendors and analysts, but Gartner Inc analyst Bill Swanton says it can be explained simply: MDM is a discipline and a process for keeping data accurate and consistent enough so that your applications perform the way you need them to in order to run the business. One business case for MDM would be to argue that it can help prevent inaccurate order deliveries. Benefits include shortening the process for new product introductions and reducing the cost of managing vendor data by having a central place to enter vendor details.
