Intelligent Deduplication
Combines redundant records automatically between systems.
To gather essential data on clients, suppliers, goods, and assets, businesses nowadays mostly rely on ERP , CRM, PLM, and other specialist platforms. Despite the strength of these systems, fragmentation and inconsistency, a hidden but serious issue; are introduced when handling master data across many platforms.
Some common manifestations include:
This fragmentation not only reduces efficiency but also hampers decision-making, increases costs, and risks compliance.
Several factors contribute to master data fragmentation:
Master data on each platform is stored separately, which results in contradicting records.
Various departments hold their own versions of master data entities.
Duplications, errors, and inconsistencies find their way in when humans enter data.
Without naming, classification, and validation rules standardized, data quality declines over time.
Redundant vendors, incorrect product codes, or duplicate records impede processes and generate unnecessary costs.
Unmanaged master data might have serious repercussions.
Prior to MDM: ERP and PLM use different product data. There are several vendor records for the same source.Impact: procurement problems, duplicate payments, and production delays.
Prior to MDM: Duplicate entries and inconsistencies exist in patient records between EMR and CRM. Impact: Inaccurate treatment records, incorrect invoicing, and a decline in patient confidence.
Prior to MDM:supplier and equipment data was dispersed between asset management, CRM, and ERP systems. Impact: Maintenance delays and downtime brought on by incorrect part numbers.
Prior to MDM: E-commerce and loyalty platforms duplicate customer accounts. Impact: Poor customer service, misaligned marketing, and inaccurate mailing addresses.
Prior to MDM: CRM and core banking systems did not line up with account and client data. Impact: Risks of noncompliance, inaccurate reporting, and ineffective operations.
