The Business Value of Master Data – Part 2
In the final part of this 2-part Whitepaper, Mike Ferguson looks at the impact of uncontrolled master data and data anomalies to explain why managing your data effectively is so important. It then looks at what happens if you don’t do anything about data anomalies, which often happens when business professionals don’t understand why data management is relevant to their job. It recommends actions to maximize business value from master data and how MDM can be integrated into existing operational and analytical environments.
DownloadExtending the Value of MDM Through Data Virtualization
Accurate, timely, and whole information assets are critical to success in this fast-moving business climate. By the time complicated IT Projects deliver this information capability it is likely to be out of date. The combination of two complimentary agile technologies, data virtualization and agile Master Data Management, when paired together, can provide a new approach to getting all relevant information in the right place at the right time. This paper provides an overview of both of these empowering technologies and how they can work together to solve complicated enterprise data integration and quality issues.

Field Report: Semarchy for Agile Reference Data Management
By Aaron Zornes, Chief Research Officer of the MDM Institute
During 2015-16, we believe a great amount of current and next-generation commerce will be facilitated by on-premises and cloud-based RDM solutions that support both “private” and “public” reference data. “Public” reference data is what many people typically think of when they consider reference data.
Reference Data Management is a major IT initiative being undertaken by a large number of market-leading global 5000 enterprises. Both as an IT discipline and a commercial off-the-shelf software solution, RDM solutions are being brought to market at an increasing pace. Additionally, RDM is a good entry-level project to show success for initial MDM investment which can be built on as a data governance model.

DownloadAn Agile Approach to Creating Business Value with Master Data Management
By David Loshin, Knowledge Integrity, Inc.
This paper explores how the operational processes employed to create and populate a master data repository often deemphasize the needs of the data consumers, leading to impediments in productionalizing the master data management environment and difficulty in its integration within enterprise business functions. In turn, the paper discusses an alternative path that adapts aspects of the agile development approach to focus on master data consumption and how that shapes the materialization of composite master views. Finally, the paper suggests some of the key features that an agile MDM tool must provide as guidance for considering vendors and products.
This agile approach to designing and implementing an MDM program will speed time-to-value, reduce the complexity of integration and deployment, and promote adoption among an expanding cadre of MDM consumers across the enterprise.
