Master Data Management: The Sliding Scale Between Build vs Buy

On-Demand

Master data management (MDM) transforms data integration and business processes. Many organizations are already experiencing the benefits of a successful MDM implementation; however, all, at some point, have answered the build vs. buy question.

Some key considerations include:

What are your current data volumes? How will they change in the near and distant future?
Are customer relationships one dimensional? Are you concerned with multi-domain relationships and hierarchies?
Will you implement Web services? How will they be used?
Do you augment your internal data with information from external vendors?
What are the time, budget and resource limitations?
Is MDM intended to eventually provide an enterprise data platform?
