What is Master Data Management Software?

Master Data Management (MDM) involves processes, tools, and technologies used to centralize and upkeep an organization's fundamental data, also known as "master data". As software, Master Data Management (MDM) solutions provide the tools and functionalities necessary to manage and maintain master data across an organization. These solutions help organizations create a centralized repository of master data, which ensures data quality, consistency, and governance. Master data includes:

  • Customer data (names, contact details, account information, and demographic data).

  • Product data (product names, descriptions, specifications, prices, and SKUs).

  • Vendor or supplier data (contact details, payment terms, and performance history).

  • Employee data (personal information, job roles, department assignments, and payroll details).

  • Asset data on company-owned resources (equipment, buildings, vehicles, and intellectual property, asset identification, maintenance history, and depreciation schedules).

  • Location data (office locations, warehouses, sales territories, and supply chain endpoints).

  • Financial data (revenue codes, cost centers, profit-and-loss accounts, and other financial dimensions used across departments).

  • Data governance and upholding the standards, and roles for managing data access, security, and quality, which helps to ensure regulatory.

  • Data modeling and hierarchies to define relationships among data entities, such as product hierarchies or organizational structures.

  • Data quality management (data validation, cleansing, deduplication, and enrichment).

  • Managing workflows and business processes, creating custom workflows for data approval, changing requests, and updates, improving control and accountability.

  • Data versioning and auditing, tracks changes to master data over time, which allows users to see data history, manage version control, and maintain audit trails.

  • Data synchronization and distribution to connected systems and keep all platforms up-to-date with the latest master data.

  • Role-based access control which allows restricting access to data based on user roles, so that only authorized users could view, edit, or manage specific data types.

  • Analytics and reporting to monitor data quality, track changes, and generate insights to support data-driven decision-making.
