MDM : Master Data Management

Secure, maintain and manage your third-party data (prospects, customers, suppliers)

MDM: unique, reliable data shared across the entire IT system

Customers, products, suppliers, business repositories… reference data is at the heart of operational processes.

Without a structured MDM approach, it quickly becomes:

  • Inconsistent,
  • Duplicated,
  • A source of operational errors and biased reporting.

At Netsystem, we support companies in implementing pragmatic, operational MDM approaches tailored to their IT environment.

What is third-party data?

Third-party data includes all information describing external entities with which the company has a relationship.

It covers in particular:

  • Prospects, for business generation,
  • Customers, for invoicing, follow-up and commercial relations,
  • Suppliers and subcontractors, for purchasing, compliance and risk management.

This data includes:

  • Legal and administrative information,
  • Operational and contractual data,
  • Compliance, solvency, liability and risk information.
What are the criteria for high-quality data?
  • Accuracy
  • Completeness
  • Timeliness
  • Integration
A recurring observation among our customers
  • Multiple versions of the same data
  • Variable quality depending on the application
  • Conflicts between ERP, CRM and business tools
  • Difficulty in ensuring the reliability of key indicators
  • Operational and regulatory risks

MDM becomes essential as soon as the IS becomes more complex.

The challenges of an MDM approach

An MDM approach enables you to:

  • Guarantee a single source of truth,
  • Improve data quality and reliability,
  • Secure critical processes (invoicing, purchasing, reporting),
  • Support ERP, BI and AI projects,
  • Facilitate external growth and carve-out operations.
MDM in data governance

MDM is not just a technical tool. It is part of a comprehensive data governance approach:

  • Management rules defined upstream,
  • Clearly established responsibilities,
  • Controlled usage,
  • Traceability and control of changes.

Effective MDM is always based on clear governance.
