The document discusses the myth that an organization needs to be "ready" to implement Master Data Management (MDM) by cleaning up data quality issues first. It argues that data quality is actually one of the benefits achieved by an effective MDM implementation, not a prerequisite. MDM solutions can capture and enforce data quality rules across different data models and business processes in real-time, while standalone data quality projects are limited in scope and have a finite lifespan. Rather than waiting to fix all data issues, the document advocates that organizations should transform digitally by implementing MDM to improve data quality on an ongoing basis.
