Master Data Management (MDM) Channel

Channel Sponsored by

For every valid report there is an invalid one - a twist on an old adage, but one every BI director knows far too well. Why does this happen? Because data doesn’t manage itself. It needs “stewardship” by the business to ensure the data matches the definitions as the business sees it. By implementing a sound master data philosophy, companies can define - and enforce - what their data means, such as what is a “customer,” “product” or “asset.” Often, simple miscommunication between IT and the business can lead to bad information driving decisions – and often caught before it is too late.

Kalido Master Data Management delivers a fully automated, business model driven method that not only supports rich data definitions, it is the only master data management product on the market that provides configurable workflows to automatically route invalid data to the stewards in the business so it can be corrected or discarded. An effective implementation of Kalido Master Data Management can eliminate the frustration and confusion over misclassified products, orphaned customers and error-prone data entry. With Kalido Master Data Management, end-users and decision-makers can begin to trust their data and finally unlock the real value of the “true intelligence” within their systems.

Brought to you by Kalido (www.kalido.com) and DM Review, this master data management resource channel will be continually updated to serve as a comprehensive channel for users searching for information on master data management.
