“An Item Catalog is a Gateway to Operational Excellence
and Strategic Procurement”

Material Master Data – Improve Performance
Common Drivers for Consolidated Catalog:
Data quality for new ERP/EAM, acquisitions, equipment and locations
Improving inventory levels and visibility across global locations
Global management of enterprise businesses
Improving global sourcing through more effective intelligence and data
Verdantis MDM solutions are designed around these three criteria.
1. Reduce Costs and Drive Business Value:
Ensuring the business has the right processes and data to realize improved
value in their operations.
2. Master Data Compliance and Standards:
To assure enterprise compliance and a single view of the company’s Master
Data. To most effectively utilize resources for data quality, maintenance and
approval processes
3. IT Standards and Compliance:
Furthermore, to assure that the MDM solution cooperates with IT standards
and solutions for enterprise architecture, security and applications.
