With this perspective in mind, our team took time out from client work to attend the CDI-MDM Summit last week, here in New York City. This is the premier conference focused exlusively on Master Data Management and Customer Data Integration, and was worth every penny, minute, and calorie we spent attending.
We will be posting a more extensive summary of takeaways, but at a high level, the event did a great job of showcasing the fact that good data management remains, as it has been for several decade now, the "great precondition." What I mean by that is that since modern business processes are build on information, the management of corporate data as a precious asset is required to enable C-level strategic objectives including:
- Compliance and Risk Management
- Agility and responsiveness to change (for example, to pursue new markets, segments, or partnerships)
- Merger integration
- Marketing ROI
- Sales Force Effectiveness
