Master Data Management (MDM) is the practice of creating a single, trusted source of critical business data — such as customer, product, employee, or location information — by integrating and reconciling it across systems.

MDM ensures consistency, accuracy, and governance of master data throughout the organization, supporting better analytics, operations, and customer experiences.

Core Principles of MDM

  • Single source of truth: One authoritative version of key data entities
  • Data harmonization: Aligning formats, values, and definitions
  • Deduplication: Merging duplicate records across systems
  • Governance and stewardship: Roles and responsibilities for managing master data

Benefits of MDM

  • Eliminates duplicate, inconsistent, or outdated records
  • Improves reporting and cross-functional analytics
  • Enhances data quality and compliance
  • Drives better customer and product insights
