Description:

Information and knowledge management and business process and applications professionals continue to turn their attention to defining master data management (MDM) strategies. However, early adopters in 2008 will focus on mitigating the organizational, process, and business case challenges an enterprisewide, multi-data-domain MDM business capability introduces before considering comprehensive technology architectures. Even with these daunting challenges, MDM's goal of delivering trusted data throughout the enterprise shouldn't be ignored this year. Recognizing and planning for enterprise MDM as a multiyear, multiphase maturing business capability allows I&KM and BP&A pros to deliver trusted quality customer, product, and other critical data.
