Access the Full Profisee Platform, in the Cloud
Profisee is the first MDM platform to embrace full containerization and enable true SaaS deployment with the full, multidomain functionality of the Profisee platform.
Profisee is a Cloud-Native Solution that’s Optimized for Azure
Profisee is hosted on Azure and managed by Profisee into a multi-tenant infrastructure, using Kubernetes namespaces and separate databases in the SQL Elastic Pool for tenant isolation.
SaaS Is The Quickest Way To Start Seeing Value From Profisee
Purchase and deploy Profisee through the Azure Marketplace as a full SaaS turn-key service to start seeing value as quickly as possible. For customers with a Microsoft Azure Cloud Consumption commitment (MACC), Profisee is an eligible solution for drawing down your commitment, helping you make the most of your investment in the Azure Cloud.
Profisee is SOC 2 and ISO27001 Certified for Peace of Mind
Profisee is built for security from the ground-up. The Profisee platform is SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified by third-party security and compliance consultant A-LIGN following a rigorous, three-month audit of how Profisee hosts and manages customer data in a SaaS environment.
Profisee Runs on the Azure Cloud for best-in-class availability and scalability
With industry-leading availability and scalability, Azure is the gold standard among cloud computing hyperscalers for hosting mission-critical systems and data. In addition to best-in-class uptime for virtual machines, Azure offers availability zones in every country for an Azure region to act as an extra layer of defense against possible infrastructure failures, like power outages and cooling malfunctions.

Turn-Key SaaS MDM
Architected for the Cloud from the Ground-Up
Lift-and-shift cloud migrations focus on taking existing applications and migrating them to the cloud with no changes to their underlying architecture. Because they were not architected for the cloud, they require substantial maintenance and fail to utilize the full security and performance advantages offered by the cloud.
Profisee MDM is architected as a fully containerized, multi-tenant, cloud-native application built on Kubernetes clusters to make the most of the elasticity, availability and scalability of Azure. We handle maintenance so you can focus on what you do best.
Flexible Data Model
You have full control over the solution, including its configuration and usage.
Deploy Quickly
Deploy Profisee in minutes whenever you’re ready to start.
Full Data Access
Whether SaaS or PaaS, it’s your data and you have unrestricted access to it.
Core to Your Data Fabric
Manage your decentralized enterprise data in a single hub via Profisee MDM
Make the Most of Your Azure Investment
Profisee is natively integrated with many of the tools you know and love from across the Azure ecosystem, making it easy and convenient to publish golden records to downstream systems like business intelligence and AI.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Master Data Management (MDM) Architecture?
Master data management (MDM) architecture — perhaps more commonly known as an implementation style — refers to the way an MDM tool like Profisee interacts with other systems across an organization’s technology landscape. Not to be confused with the architecture of the MDM tool itself, master data management architecture in this context represents a broader view and includes multiple large systems, such as ERP, CRM and data lakes/warehouses.
In general, there are four different architectures, or implementation styles, that an MDM tool follows:
- Registry: The MDM tool acts as a central reference point for master data definitions and attributes but doesn’t store the actual data itself. This architecture is a scalable, low-risk approach to implementing MDM, but it only allows for updating master data one way and doesn’t offer much control.
- Consolidated: The MDM tool acts as a central hub, absorbing data from multiple sources and creating a golden record for entities in each data domain used. This architecture typically results in high data quality and improved reporting and analytics but has the potential for disrupting downstream systems and is mostly used for analysis use cases.
- Coexistence: The MDM tool also acts as a central hub in a coexistence architecture, but while master data resides in the hub, source systems retain operational data and handle transactions. This is a flexible approach that allows for a phased implementation while improving data quality, but it is typically more complex and expensive to pull off.
- Centralized: The MDM tool acts as a hub and becomes the single source of truth for all master data. Data is then distributed to operational systems. This architecture offers the most control and consistency but is also one of the more expensive options presented here and runs the risk of significantly disrupting the business during implementation.
Ultimately, the best MDM architecture depends on what you’re hoping to achieve with MDM. Are you looking to execute an analytical or an operational use case? Where should your master data be persisted? Choosing an MDM architecture is a critical step in the early stages of starting an MDM program, so it’s important to do so carefully.
Which cloud platform is Profisee MDM hosted on as a SaaS offering?
As a SaaS offering, Profisee is deployed on the Azure Cloud platform where it is natively architected for Azure and runs on 100% native Azure infrastructure (AKS, SQL Elastic Pool, etc.).
The SaaS offering of Profisee MDM is available as a full turnkey service — Profisee manages the platform software in a multi-tenant infrastructure and uses Kubernetes namespaces and separate databases in the SQL Elastic Pool for tenant isolation.
A cloud native platform, Profisee is architected to take full advantage of all Azure has to offer, using a combination of availability zones, cross-region replication and cross-region failover to provide customers with a highly available master data management solution.
Is Profisee available on Azure Marketplace?
Yes, both the SaaS and PaaS offerings of Profisee are available on Azure Marketplace, providing customers with an existing Azure investment a convenient way to make the purchase.
