Siperian, an innovative provider of Master Data Management (MDM) solutions, is teaming up with Dan Power from Hub Solution Designs on a webinar titled “Top Five Reasons Not To Master Your Data in SAP ERP”.
A lot of organizations use SAP Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) for their transaction processing, but struggle to manage their non-transactional (or master) data, including customer, product, and supplier information. These types of data require a separate Master Data Management (MDM) system – to streamline business processes, reduce costs, and increase revenue by creating a single view of the customer, product, or supplier.
Dan Power will discuss the following topics during this 45-minute webinar:
- Why SAP ERP is not the right place to master data
- Why a separate MDM system is required for streamlining business operations
- How MDM and SAP ERP coexist
- The technical attributes, strengths and weaknesses of SAP and Siperian MDM products
- The requirements of an effective MDM system and best practices for implementation
This free webinar will be held on Thursday, Feb. 5, 2009 at 11:00 AM Pacific (y:00 PM Eastern), and will include a live question & answer session.

Online Community and Twitter Group for MDM

In November, I created an online community for everyone involved in Master Data Management.
After attending the Fall 2008 MDM Summit in New York, and the Gartner MDM Summit in Chicago, I was looking for a way to keep that feeling of community alive. Conferences are a great way to see old friends and meet new people, to learn from colleagues, to exchange best practices and lessons learned, and to investigate vendors.
The MDM Community is an attempt to keep that going after everyone heads home. To join, just click here. Please let me know what you’d like to see there.
For those of you on Twitter, I created a Twitter Group for Master Data Management as well. This will help you stay current on breaking news relating to MDM.
