A formal definition of master data management is as follows: “Master data management (MDM) is a set of processes, policies, services and technologies used to create, maintain and manage data associated with a company’s core business entities as a system of record (SOR) for the enterprise.”
Core master data entities include customer, supplier, partner, employee, asset, etc. Therefore, MDM is about managing customer data, supplier data, employee data, asset data etc., making sure it is formally defined, high quality, integrated as a system of record, and that changes to it are synchronised across all systems using it. The trend here is towards multiple entity master data management where a single MDM system can deal with the management of multiple entities and not just one.
From this definition we can see that MDM is not just about data. It is about putting processes and policies in place with respect to governing master data, as well as putting services in place that provide common ways to access, maintain and manage it. MDM is, therefore, about data and the processes associated with that data. This includes processes associated with business use of master data as well as processes associated with management of it, e.g. managing master data definitions (metadata), data modelling, master data discovery and mapping, master data quality profiling, hierarchy management, master data cleansing, master data integration, provisioning, and master data synchronisation.
