| Educational Workshops You need to get your business and IT team members on the same page before starting a Master Data Management initiative. In our “Master Class” workshops, our thought leaders begin the process by educating your team on what MDM is, why it’s important, the major trends and players in the market, and how to develop and execute a high impact strategy at your company. We save you time and money by getting your business and IT people up to speed quickly. | Business Case Creation To justify MDM, you’ve got to work across the whole organization to identify the major business drivers, map the functional and technical requirements and build the business case. We use a detailed approach to quantify the expected costs and benefits in order to develop a robust return on investment. The resulting business case is communicated and socialized to gain “buy-in” from key stakeholders. | Planning and Design Traditional IT methodologies don’t take into account the holistic and information-driven nature of Master Data Management. Whether you’re redesigning processes, developing a Data Governance framework, or changing policies and procedures, MDM initiatives require a comprehensive approach to project planning and design. The right project plan drives successful execution. |
| Readiness Assessment Understanding if your organization is ready to implement MDM and data governance is critical. Succeeding at master data management and data governance is going to require change. To ensure you optimize your investments and deliver the right solution, a Readiness Assessment will identify potential roadblocks and how to overcome them. | Software Selection Selecting the right mix of technologies is vital to the success of your MDM initiative. We bring you an objective approach, and have partnered with all of the major MDM vendors. This empowers you to make the best choices, balancing business drivers across your organization’s people, processes and technologies. | Execution You've sold your plan, and now flawless execution is crucial. We bring thought leadership and experience to bear, working hand in hand with your team on program management and implementation oversight. |
