| Master Data Management (MDM),
also known as Reference Data Management (RDM), is a
sub-discipline of Data architecture within Information
Technology (IT) that focuses on the management of reference
or master data that is shared by several disparate IT
systems and groups. MDM is required to enable consistent
computing between diverse system architectures and business
functions. Large companies often have IT systems that are
used by diverse business functions (e.g., finance, sales,
R&D, etc.) and span across multiple countries. These diverse
systems usually need to share key data that is relevant to
the parent company (e.g., products, customers, and
suppliers). It is critical for the company to consistently
use these shared data elements through its various IT
systems. MDM also becomes important when two or more
companies want to share data across corporate boundaries.
Recent legislation, such as
Sarbanes-Oxley in the United States and new international
accounting standards, has driven many enterprises to
evaluate their master data management system for the first
time. Master Data Management software empowers business
users with a best practice business management process to
centralize and directly manage the structure of corporate
data. Many organizations are looking to empower their
business users to create and maintain Master Data, and, with
the appropriate security, release it to their business
systems in minutes, all without adding the burdens of time
and money to their IT divisions.
