The Road to a Data-Focused Organisation

Do you know the quality of your most significant process-driving or process-controlling master data?

The rapidly proceeding digitalisation and the increasing activities in the area of Industry 4.0 require not only the latest IT applications and IT structures, such as cloud applications, but also a solid master data basis for successful implementation in companies. However, many companies are still a long way from achieving this, as they are unable to realise their full potential in day-to-day business due to incorrect and inconsistent data. Through structured and effective data management, companies are able to utilise an enormous, often underestimated efficiency potential.

Do you know how often master data is entered twice or corrections have to be made?

The Solution to These Challenges: A Strategic and Practised Master Data Management System

The solution to the problems and challenges described above is provided by strategic master data management (MDM), which consolidates all of a company’s master data in one place, the so-called “single point of truth”, in a transparent and consistent manner.

The aim of MDM is to create a quality-assured basis for efficient business processes, fast and transparent corporate decisions and future, innovative and competitive business models and to become an enabler of digital transformation.

Corporate Management and Decision-Making

Corporate management and decision-making must be managed in an increasingly dynamic and complex environment, for which standardised data is an absolute prerequisite.

Cross-Divisional and Cross-Location Data

Cross-divisional and even cross-location data require a comprehensive and harmonised data usage and quality concept.

Electronic Data Exchange

The increase in vertical integration in production increases electronic data exchange, which is based on a harmonised material database.

Integration of Customer Data

Customer data and information are becoming more extensive, but are maintained in different IT systems. This requires customer data integration in order to avoid duplicate entries and inconsistencies.

Compliance Requirements

Compliance requirements, including those for master data, have become increasingly demanding in recent years and require detailed and documented evidence.
