Research and Markets has released a new report entitled Data Quality and MDM – The Missing Link. The release states, “Currently, Master Data Management (MDM) and data quality are treated as separate markets, yet any MDM project has a significant data quality component. Many authors have highlighted in the media the crucial importance of data quality initiatives to ensuring the success of MDM implementations. There is, however, little information on the approach being adopted by organizations that have implemented or plan to implement MDM.”
The release continues, “It is important for organizations and vendors alike to understand the current state of data quality and master data management in organizations as well as the degree to which these areas are becoming interdependent. In particular, the link between these important areas was explored to discover how data quality is interleaved into a master data program. Researchers also wished to gain insight into software tools selected and the available experience to date. Therefore the survey, sponsored by Informatica and Talend, was aimed at understanding better the views of business regarding their current data quality and MDM initiatives.”
