Do you have a unified view of your master data?
While it used to be viewed as a marginal IT topic a few years ago, Master Data Management (MDM) is rapidly attracting attention from both business and technology teams. Few would disagree that having a unified view of critical Master Data domains is a critical prerequisite for business improvement as it provides a foundation for reporting and operational excellence. On the IT end, MDM serves as an enabler for every IT initiative that depends on consistent and accurate master data – from Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) deployments to Business Process Optimization (BPO) initiatives.
Mainstream ERP solutions generally deliver solid MDM support for most important Master Data domains; however there are situations where a dedicated Best of Breed solution may be more appropriate:
- When a centralized or hybrid Master Data Management scenario is required within a very complex, heterogeneous system landscape
- Where participating and operational and analytical systems have differing data requirements
- There are ongoing and relatively complex data quality (cleansing and de-duplication) and data enrichment requirements
- Data security requirements are complex and of critical importance
Westernacher delivers extensive MDM deployment and integration experience both within mainstream ERP platforms as well as leading Best of Breed solutions.
