Master Data Management (MDM)

High quality data is at the heart of every company's digital journey and clean master data is the starting point

JSC consultants are acutley aware of the importance of clean and high quality data as the foundation to drive digitalization

 

Efficient decisions and processes depend on data. Most of the relevant data is master data. The quality and availability of master data determines the quality of strategic and operational analyses and subsequent decisions, as well as the quality of business processes.

However, mastering master data management (MDM) is not simple, nor is it a mere IT project – it is an ongoing initiative that touches every aspect of an organization.
