Understanding the differences between MDM (Master Data Management) and Data Quality (DQ) software is essential for optimizing your data management strategies. Join us on Thursday, August 30 at 11 AM EST / 3:00 PM GMT for the latest edition of CDO Matters LIVE, where Malcolm Hawker will explore:

• Focus and Scope: MDM software specializes in managing master data with precision, targeting specific data subsets. DQ software, on the other hand, offers broad data quality monitoring and profiling across a larger data landscape, allowing for more detailed analysis.

• Issue Remediation: MDM deals with data quality issues directly within source systems through Operational MDM, integrating remediation processes. DQ software highlights data quality problems and indicates them for resolution at the source, without deep system integration.

• Monitoring and Alerts: DQ software excels in advanced monitoring and alerting due to its robust profiling capabilities, providing continuous oversight of data quality. MDM can monitor data but is generally limited to specific data subsets within a structured governance framework.

Understanding how MDM and DQ software complement each other will help you use both tools effectively for comprehensive data management. Don’t miss this chance to improve your data practices!
