Accelerate data governance processes with master data management solutions
Increasing data silos
Multiple teams within the same organization collect similar data for their own purposes, causing data silos. Efforts get duplicated; and inconsistent, incomplete, or overlapping data gets stored on the system.
Lack of a holistic view
Changes to the master data can lead to incomplete and fragmented data being kept in multiple folders. Without a process in place to create, gather, organize, and view data efficiently, business operations get affected.
Data compliance issues
When everyone has unrestricted access to customer, product, financial, or other organizational data, and there are no parameters set for need-based access, being compliant with data privacy laws becomes an issue.
Lack of data ownership
Master data stored in different repositories not connected with each other impair data governance strategies. Without centralized data ownership, creating and managing master data with quality data becomes a challenge.
Enable master data entry workflows
Configurable workflow templates in our Data Entry Workflow solution help you streamline the process of entering data step-by-step by multiple end-users, within D365 F&O. Before releasing new master data, you can enable an approval process, and gain insights on data creation and workflow statuses.
Establish data quality policies
On our Data Quality Studio, you can set up additional validation or enrichment rules at the field or record level to ensure that the correct values are entered. You can set them conditionally for specific legal entities or based on the value/content in fields or tables.
Manage data distribution
The Master Data Management Studio allows data stewards to release data from a master company and determine which legal entities or external applications should it be shared with. They can control when to distribute master data, as well as which exact data needs to be moved.
Eliminate the challenges in achieving effective data governance
Empower data stewards
By making data stewards responsible for the management and proficiency of the data stored, our solutions ensure control, quality, and approval of master data changes.
Implement data validation
Our solutions can help you implement field or record-level validation rules—which can be set conditional as per requirements—to ensure that the right values are entered.
Ensure integrated data governance
By providing a role-based and need-based workflow-driven structure, our embedded data governance solutions can help you optimize your data management strategies.
Regulate data access
Our solutions empower data stewards with the authority to assign or customize data access to the companies who require them for business or operational purposes.
Ensure approval steps by data owners
Our solutions enable designated users to approve, reject or request changes to newly created master data. Data entries will be logged with a timestamp and template step details for audit purposes.
Centralize or de-centralize
You can manage data centrally—with one master data management company; or manage data de-centrally—by allowing it to be owned by various legal entities or companies.
