As organizations aim to leverage data for innovation, growth, and efficiency, the importance of Master Data Management and Data Governance becomes clearer than ever. These two pillars provide the structure, consistency, and reliability needed to support real-time decision-making and strategic planning.
This article explains how MDM creates a unified version of truth for critical domains like customers, products, suppliers, and assets, while governance ensures that this data is secured, validated, and compliant.
