Master Data Management

Every company, big or small, is made up of some common entities that are referenced across all departments. Some of the most common examples of this are customers, products, suppliers, and addresses. This data should be fixed but, unfortunately, it changes over time as it travels through the different departments and regional offices of a company.

This data is called master data.

As a data mesh grows and you incorporate more data products into the mesh, different versions of the master data start flowing into the mesh. This can start impacting the analytical output. Inaccuracies, errors, and redundancies will start showing up in reports leading to hours of manual debugging and lost time and money for the company.
