Master Data Management (MDM) is a core component of modern data management. MDM is a critical discipline that focuses on uniformity, accuracy, consistency, semantic integrity of shared reference data across the enterprise.

A single, consistent view of master entities—customers, products, accounts, employees, etc.—that span multiple business processes is important to ensure both data quality and process integrity. As enterprises strive to become data driven and data use cases expand with the adoption of self-service analytics and data science applications, the role and reach of master data expands rapidly. In the age of digital transformation MDM is no longer a “nice to have” capability. It is an essential competency for business success.

We've updated our master data management curriculum to reflect the significant changes that have occurred in the field in the last few years. This includes changes to our popular fundamentals course in master data management.
