Data is critical to organizations – that’s a fact. But maintaining the quality of data across siloed systems? That’s where it gets complicated.
That’s because as your business applications grow, so does the sheer volume of data. And when that data is siloed, the manual processes you may have been using to keep data correct and consistent across all your organization’s assorted moving parts begin to break down.
So, let’s take a new approach – master data management (MDM): providing a powerful, single golden record of data that’s synchronized across systems to maintain data quality and fuel better, timely decision-making for your business.
Join this webinar to discover how multi-domain MDM helps you break down data silos to drive incremental revenue, reduce costs, and transform your digital initiatives into a competitive advantage – thanks to a clearer, more holistic view of enterprise-wide information.
Topics covered will include how to:
· Eliminate the manual and inefficient processes that produce data gaps and inconsistencies
· Establish a record of consistent, valid, and accurate data across domains, applications, and services
· Improve initial data quality and ensure proper governance with process automation
· Increase data utilization and collaboration across various user personas, with a business-friendly user interface (UI)
· Manage all administrative, stewardship, and governance functions across domains from a single UI
· Create linked relationships between data domains and surface up analytics on different data types to provide context and enable more informed decision-making

And you can certainly find any number of articles and surveys in the press, or analyst reports, that dig into this issue. Here you see just a few stats from Forbes, the Harvard Business Review, and Precisely’s own Data Trends Survey.
When two-thirds of organizations say siloed data negatively impacts their data initiatives and almost half of newly created data records have at least one critical error, it is no wonder that 84% of CEOs doubt the integrity of the data on which they make decisions!

But with today’s loosely-coupled systems landscape, digitizing processes is challenging, to say the least. The critical data that powers your core business processes and underpins your transformation efforts is more dispersed than ever before. Think about your customer data for a moment. It may reside in your ERP, CRM, marketing, eCommerce, point-of-sale systems, and so on. The effect of these data silos is not just data discrepancies between systems, but process inefficiencies as business teams wait for data from one system into another or act as the glue between systems rekeying data from one place to another.
You may have dialed in your sales process to move customers through the sales cycle efficiently, but if it takes days to set up a new customer in the system where you process your orders, you’ve lost momentum and maybe even customer goodwill in the process.

Your core business data must be right. It must be compliant, and just as important, it must be available wherever it’s needed by the business, faster than ever. We’re talking about the core master data that describes your business—your products, customers, vendor, equipment, employees and the like.
So how do you improve the quality of your most important business data and ensure that it gets to all the systems and people that need it quickly? <click>
