A Paradigm Shift in MDM Delivers Substantial Benefits

In this report, Queplix reviews the major challenges associated with the traditional paradigm for Master Data Management (MDM), and introduces a new approach that enables organizations to enhance ROI, speeds implementation time, and reduces risk of project failure.

As outlined by the report, organizations must deal with nine major challenges associated with the current MDM paradigm:
1. “The Big Bang” – unrealistic project scope and time to complete implementation;
2. Manual processes and professional services requirement;
3. Data discovery and gaining visibility into data elements;
4. Complex planning and management;
5. Requirement to transform to MDM model;
6. Painful to achieve synchronization;
7. Cloud architecture and integrating data that does not reside in the data center;
8. Scalability is difficult;
9. Complex maintenance once project is completed.

An alternate approach, called Virtual Master Data Managementâ„¢ (VMDM), addresses each more
