Modernizing Master Data Management
Master Data Management technology has been around for a while. There are hundreds of use cases that could be satisfied by MDM. Yet many organizations have addressed only a handful of initial use cases, and now maintain the status quo for their MDM program.
Meanwhile, MDM software vendors continue to innovate. Cloud. Automation. 360s. AI. These are important innovations that make MDM better. It’s time to modernize MDM and take advantage of those features.
Now is the time to modernize your MDM. Whether that is expanding it to a 360 view, migrating it to the cloud, or implementing a new MDM technology, Q Spark Group has the expertise to help. We built the first leading MDM product 25 years ago. We’ve implemented it. Now, we’re ready to modernize it.
Solutions to Modernize MDM
Implement a New MDM
Considering a new MDM program and technology? QSG can help. We’ve implemented MDM successfully countless times. We have a proven implementation methodology, The Spark, that ensures MDM will meet your business needs.
Expand MDM to a 360
MDM used to be about “core” data. But the business demanded to know ‘all data’ and thus a 360 view was born. We are experts in building that 360. We built software solutions that match data fragments to MDM records to get that 360 automatically.
Migrate to Cloud MDM
There are 1000s of companies using on-premises MDM technology. Many don’t have a clear roadmap to cloud MDM from their vendors. QSG can help. We specialize in migrating on-premises to cloud MDM solutions. We have the expertise to make that journey seamless.
Decommission Legacy MDM
Thousands of legacy MDM implementations don't have a clear path forward. Often the right answer is decommissioning. You must plan how to wind down and replace existing MDM processes. It's also time rethink your strategy and whether to implement a new MDM system, or meet your 360 needs with other technologies. Q Spark understands legacy MDM implementations and how to wind them down smoothly. We have lots of ideas on how to move your MDM strategy forward.
