Just Announced! Master Data Management End-User Case Studies

The truth is that achieving a single view across the enterprise, is key to running your business. The effective management and governance of master data is both an opportunity and challenge for many large enterprises. Gartner Master Data Management (MDM) Summit 2007 highlights key trends and identifies best practices, technologies, software tools and vendors that will guide you through successful implementation of your master data management initiatives.

Unlike past development efforts, master data management poses unique challenges and requires new relationships between business and IT in areas such as workflow, governance, stewardship and data integration. To be successful, organizations must understand the role of information governance and the impact MDM has on their applications portfolio and information infrastructure.

Organizations use MDM to accelerate enterprise agility, promote operational efficiency, achieve competitive differentiation, support enterprise transparency and ensure corporate compliance. Knowing where to start -- understanding the business case -- planning the effort -- and selecting the right tools and platform - will help you avoid common pitfalls from early adopters.

Co-located with Gartner Customer Relationship Management Summit.
