Master Data Management (MDM)

Master Data Management (MDM) is a set of practices, processes, and technologies that aim to create and maintain a single, authoritative source of accurate and consistent master data across an organization. Onebridge MDM services will ensure you that you can trust and rely on your data.

Trust Your Data with MDM

A Single Source of Truth

A single source of truth ensures that all stakeholders in the organization have access to consistent and accurate data. This helps to eliminate data silos, data inconsistencies, and data conflicts that can arise when different departments or systems use different versions of the same data.

Eliminate Fragmentation

Onebridge MDM services help organizations consolidate data from disparate systems, standardizing and cleansing the data, and creating a master record for each entity. The master record contains all the critical attributes of the entity and serves as the source of truth for that entity across the organization.

Maintain compliance

MDM enforces data governance policies and procedures for creating, updating, and deleting data to ensure the data is managed in a consistent, secure, and compliant manner. This helps to establish data that remains accurate and consistent over time, even as new data is added, or old data is updated.
