Benefits & conditions

n MDM Context: Customer and Supplier are managed today in separate onboarding systems (each the authoritative master for its domain), with a command center (work-in-progress) serving data-quality dashboards and unified view. The near-term strategy is first to master each domain in place, explore impactful operational data domains (to master) while building the governance and data-quality foundation. Second, make an MDM platform decision at a deliberate subsequent gate.

  • Sequence the roadmap for incremental value: master-in-place now, platform decision at a deliberate gate, integrating with downstream systems. \n
  • Prioritize domains and capabilities: Legal Entity backbone and high value domains Customer, Supplier and Operations. \n
  • Define the canonical/logical data models, golden-record survivorship strategy, and cross-domain resolution for Legal Entity, Customer, and Supplier. \n
  • Maintain deep, current knowledge of AI-enabled / AI-centric MDM platform architecture; shape where AI augments mastering, with guardrails for explainability, human-in-the-loop review, and auditability. \n
  • Set non-functional requirements such as scale, performance, availability, security, lineage, and data privacy. \n

\n \nAdoption & Enablement \n \n \n

  • Lead adoption steward tooling, technical documentation, and hands-on training and enablement. \n
  • Win stakeholder buy-in with working prototypes and demos. \n
  • Push data quality checks into the onboarding systems (validation at entry) so best practice is built into daily workflows. \n
  • Build prescriptive remediation that makes stewards effective, identifying the specific defect and rule, recommending the fix, and routing the task. \n

  • Track key KPIs: duplicate rate, match/merge accuracy, onboarding cycle time, % records with a golden record, and issue-resolution time. \n
  • Surface insights and quantify business outcomes (duplicate-payment reduction, Customer-360 completeness, spend/risk visibility). \n
