Matching & Survivorship FAQs
How does Profisee MDM's matching differ from other MDM solutions, especially in terms of supporting various match types?
Profisee MDM’s matching capabilities encompass support for exact character matching, fuzzy matching and other common match types. These features distinguish it from other MDM solutions and cater to diverse matching needs within organizations.
What data sources can I use with Profisee’s matching and survivorship abilities?
You can use data from any source. Import your data, and Profisee will automatically match potential duplicate records using fuzzy matching.

What is a “golden record” in the context of MDM?
A golden record refers to a single, authoritative and reliable version of a particular piece of master data within an MDM platform. It represents the most accurate and complete representation of that data entity, often aggregated from multiple sources and cleansed to ensure consistency and reliability. The golden record is the product of matching, merging and survivorship, where the most accurate information from multiple sources is consolidated into a single record.
What is survivorship in the context of MDM?
Survivorship refers to the process of determining which data values should be retained or “survive” when conflicting or duplicate data records are merged or resolved. In many cases, multiple sources (or silos) of data may contain conflicting or duplicate information about the same entity (e.g., customer, product). Survivorship rules are used to resolve these conflicts by determining which values should be considered authoritative and retained in the merged or consolidated record, often resulting in the creation of a golden record.
How does matching and merging records work in Profisee? Do data stewards have the chance to review matches before they’re merged?
Profisee uses an ML-powered matching engine to automatically match duplicate records. Matching records are then displayed side-by-side in a match group for data stewards to review, where they are also given the option to merge records. Once a steward selects candidate records for merging, they can choose “winners” from the information in candidate records to survive the merge and be stored in the golden record. Data stewards have a chance to review merge criteria before making any changes that will affect records. Full audit trails are available in the Profisee Platform for data steward review.
