Consolidation Business-to-Business Use Cases

As organizations manage their master data without proper discipline or technologies, it is often the case that the lack of such capabilities introduces duplicate data and other inaccuracies into their source systems. However, with an MDM solution in place, entity data may be consolidated into a single repository which may then be de-duplicated, validated, governed, and operationalized to ensure downstream business processes are empowered with trusted, accurate, and up to date information.

In this documentation, the following use case scenarios are covered:

  • Consolidate Customer Data from a Source System here

  • Consolidate Supplier Data from a Source System here

  • Customer Data in Disparate Silos across Business Lines here

  • Supplier Data in Disparate Silos Across Business Lines here

  • Understanding Customers' Legal Hierarchies here

  • Understanding Suppliers' Legal Hierarchies here

Note: When consolidating data, you must use the match and merge solution, not the match and link solution.
