Master data management (MDM) program teams often struggle to build business cases. Part of this struggle stems from simply not having the data to back up the value of MDM. In fact, “90% of companies recently surveyed for the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Master Data Management Solutions lack formal metrics to measure the financial value contributed by an MDM solution” (1).
Without formal metrics, organizations are often left with vendor-led “proof of value” programs as validation of technology rather than demonstrations of how the right technology addresses the requirements and metrics, financial and otherwise, demanded by the stakeholders in your organization. This approach is incomplete as it doesn’t look at the technology as a w9hole and may limit the organization’s success in the long term.
We’d like to address that gap in the enterprise software industry and shift how organizations buy enterprise infrastructure technology by providing clear-eyed, well-documented point-of-views on how technology can meet business requirements while creating financial value.
