Hi surya

<b>Concept :</b>

Master-Data Management (MDM) is key enabler of consistent master data within a heterogeneous system landscape. It ensures cross-system data consistency through streamlined data import, consolidation, and distribution mechanisms.

<b>Need of MDM</b>

Today, large and mid-scale companies operating on the base of diversified IT landscapes often suffer from master data that is inconsistently stored in multiple, disconnected systems or databases. Unmanaged master data is inaccurate, redundant, all of which result in high maintenance costs

So MDM plays vital role to maintain consistent master data over remotely connected IT landscapes through its powerful user interface and functionality
