MDM
In computing, master data management (MDM) comprises a set of processes and tools that consistently defines and manages the non-transactional data entities of an organization (also called reference data). MDM has the objective of providing processes for collecting, aggregating, matching, consolidating, quality-assuring, persisting and distributing such data throughout an organization to ensure consistency and control in the ongoing maintenance and application use of this information.
The term recalls the concept of a master file from an earlier computing era. MDM is similar to, and some would say the same as, virtual or federated database management.
What do you get out of it
• A customer who understands what they need• A customer who understands the requirements and practicalities of the
course• Valuable Sharepoint experience (there is a lot of demand for Sharepoint
expertise in the job market)• A glimpse to the true nature of ERP systems (a plus when applying for
a job in most big companies)• A leg between the door to Wärtsilä (or to the many consultant
companies which are providing services to us )
