A Semantic Approach to Master Data Management to Ensure a Single Source of Truth
Build an AI-Ready data foundation that connects and standardizes mission-critical data across distributed teams and applications for both humans and AI agents. Link together multiple capabilities – master data, reference data, quality, catalog, governance – to enable centralized management of data usage in a flexible environment that scales from teams to the enterprise.
What is the scope of MDM?
Master Data Management’s goal is to create a “system of record” that is consistent, persistent, interoperable, multi-domain, and governed in order to support data and AI analytics and operational use cases.
Why is "static" data so hard to wrangle?
Master data and reference data are typically described as datasets that don’t change often, yet business and IT alike know how disruptive applying changes to foundational data can be. From unstructured content to medical terminologies, from product skus to policies, the real world challenge of creating a single source of truth looms larger than ever.
How to navigate AI + MDM?
Start with a foundational semantic approach that drives agility and consistency to manage change with certainty. Build a system of record powered by an AI-ready data foundation that links shared business language across data silos, leveraging the flexibility of a knowledge graph to infer insights and accelerate change management with speed and confidence.
