Master Data Management (MDM) Consulting Services
Master data management (MDM) is the set of processes, governance, policies, standards, and tools that define and manage an organization's critical data consistently. The goal is a single point of reference for every system and team.
DESSS delivers end-to-end MDM consulting, from identifying your critical data to go-live, so your ERP, CRM, and reporting systems all run on accurate, trusted information.
How DESSS Helps with MDM Consulting
- Identify critical master data: Pinpoint the master data that drives your business
- Assess data storage: Review how your data is organized and stored across systems
- Define data ownership: Assign clear accountability for every data domain
- Design the data model: Build a structure that fits your business processes
- Establish governance: Set policies, standards, and stewardship roles
- Implement quality control: Validate, cleanse, and monitor data continuously
- Go live: Deploy with testing, training, and post-launch support
Types of Mastered Data
- Reference data: Business objects used in transactions and the dimensions used for analysis
- Analytical data: Data that supports reporting and decision-making
What Our MDM Tools Do
- Remove duplicate records
- Standardize data formats and values
- Eliminate incorrect and incomplete data
Master Data Examples
Every organization relies on three core master data domains:
- Products: SKUs, specifications, pricing, categories, and attributes
- Accounts: Customer, vendor, and financial account records
- Parties: Customers, suppliers, partners, and employees
Party and account information gets duplicated at every step of the front-to-back office lifecycle. Sales, finance, and operations each re-enter or modify the same records, creating conflicting versions across systems. What the business needs is one authoritative source for party, account, and product data.
Our MDM Process
Our seven-stage process keeps your applications consistent, controlled, and running smoothly:
- Collecting: Capture master data from every source system
- Aggregating: Bring scattered records into one unified view
- Matching: Detect duplicates and related records
- Consolidating: Merge matches into a single golden record
- Quality-Assuring: Cleanse, validate, and standardize data
- Persisting: Store trusted data in a governed central hub
- Distributing: Deliver clean data back to ERP, CRM, and connected applications

What Is Master Data?
Master data is the core list of information shared across multiple applications. It standardizes data and distributes it across your systems and organization. At a minimum, an ERP or CRM system holds a Customer Master, an Item Master, and an Account Master. For most companies, this data is one of their most valuable assets.
