Hi,

There are already some good links are given by Bhavesh and Satish.

To my knowledge where ever you need to do some Harmonization, Data Deduplication, catlog management you will go for MDM. MDM generally reads reads XML files(may be CSV & some formats but definetly not RFC or IDOCS) and gives out XML files. Lets take up some ORGN for example say DHL. DHL is spread across the globe and obviously they would be using diverse systems. But DHL would like to maintain a centeralised HR data say all Employee details. That is a single a single point where I am maintaining my master data, as we say master data we know there should be duplicates and it should be harmonized. SAP's solution for that is MDM which would help in Harmonize and remove duplicates. But the question is how MDM would collect data from all these diverse systems spread acroos the globe and at the same time how do MDM post those data into some centeralized HR system say SAP HR. So XI comes into picture to collect all different format of data and they might also use XI to convert those data into a uniform XML structure and it is loaded into MDM. MDM does its job and obviously it cannot post a IDOC into SAP HR. So it gives out a file and XI again picks up and post the IDOC into SAP HR. Simillarly think of all the master data like Product/Material master etc...

So in most of the cases MDM & XI joins together to give a solution.

Prakash
