This section includes comprehensive information from expert users, analysts, implementers and the media about all aspects of Master Data Management.

Bullet-Proof MDM: Designing a World-Class Development Environment | PDF
A rich and valuable look at the basics of Master Data Management. Includes examples, use cases, organizational considerations, approaches and much more. Highly recommended. From the Resource:
1) MDM development success requires traditional development rigor
- Requirements include functional and data details
- Success requires a different stakeholder engagement model
2) Developer skills will extend beyond traditional development experience
- Identification and match processing requires business-level data knowledge
- Data profiling and production data quality measurement will become a constant
3) MDM isn't feasible without data management
- Data standards and data administration is a dependency (not an option)

MDM Misconceptions:
1) MDM is a data warehousing project,
2) MDM is solely for maintaining data consistency across business transaction systems,
3) MDM is simply another data integration project,
4) MDM integrates and manages all enterprise-wide data, and
5) MDM is a data quality project.
