Organisations continually strive to differentiate themselves in a rapidly changing and demanding market and global competition. These circumstances result in a constant increase in the number of IT systems that depend on master data or that act as sources of master data. Further changing business requirements stem from:

• Mergers and acquisitions – which introduce further sets of master data and the need for data migration and harmonisation
• New compliance initiatives - which require consistent reporting throughout the organisation along key information objects
• Integrated supply chains with increasingly automated collaboration – which require harmonised data across business units and with external partners

 These trends have shown that inconsistent master data severely constrains business and limits its agility to act. That is why today, master data quality has become a strategic success factor for most organisations.
