On a beautiful evening as friends , we transitioned in to the topic of Master Data Maintenance. We had an interesting conversion – Everybody shared their experience on this topic. Thought it would be great to write and summarize few thoughts that came across.
Starting from basic Employee, Material, Customer and Vendor Master in a small company, Master data can reach to a very complex situation like ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) driven MES (Manufacturing Execution System), Recipe to Inspection Characteristic Master. After a brief intro, let us see what it can affect in a project /implementation short to long term, if not designed with vision there will be impact on
Cost to Company
Project Implementation timeline
Application and interface behavior
Future design strategy
EAI strategy
Data Management strategy
Post Go-live support strategy
Data security
the list goes on – Either going with a tool or a home grown solution - Looking at the list, it seems to be a big deal for sure.
If your company has already implemented MDM strategy, its important to look back and see where the current implementation lack in governance and implement corrective measures ASAP, which will cover the company's overall cost. If you are in the process of implementing a MDM strategy, it would be great opportunity to look the list and make necessary investment initially to reduce the cost in future.
