Master Data Management (MDM)

Discipline and tools for creating and maintaining a single, authoritative version of key business entities like customers, products and suppliers.

Definition

MDM uses matching, merging, survivorship and governance to produce golden records shared across systems.

Exam tip

MDM is about authoritative master data; identity resolution is a related technique.
