Companies across all industries experience constant competition and client pressure for improvement whilst minimising costs and complying to strict regulations. As organizations also go through major digital transformations and look to become more data driven, the establishment of a comprehensive MDM ecosystem is becoming crucially important to the business.

Business environments are changing faster than ever, and smart organizations know that their competitive advantage will only grow by increasing the digitization of their business and automating the processes when the amount of data is increasing daily. Understanding how your master data can support your business processes helps to comprehend how automation of master data operations can be transformed into efficiency gains. Moreover, the amount of changes and risk of errors in MDM processes must be considered as well, since not all master data operations are the right candidate for automation. There are moreover a plethora of other challenges and risks to be mitigated. Evaluating these factors thoroughly is a key for an optimal investment in automation.

Key Talking Points:

- Creating a modern MDM design for an efficient ecosystem

- A focus on successful strategies and solutions for a comprehensive automation framework

- Determining at what stages of MDM to accelerate automation services

- Best practice in mitigating risk and avoiding errors
