Hi Srinivas ,
Please find basic of MDM...
1. MDM DEFINED:
Master data is data that describes an organizations
key business entities, such as customers, products,
vendors and employees. A master data management
(MDM) program combines data expertise, focused
business processes and specialized technology to ensure
consistency and accuracy of data across organizational
and business process lines. Once in place,
an MDM program greatly simplifies application, process
and data integration, enables competitive agility
and responsiveness, and facilitates analytical accuracy
and real-time reporting
The technical component of MDM consists of middleware
that sits between an organizations various business
systems to provide all systems with a single
source of master data. MDM software tools provide a
centralized master data repository as well as advanced
functionality for data consolidation, distribution and
management.
Far from a single-shot, silver-bullet fix, MDM is best though of as an ongoing specialized
discipline requiring a dedicated team focused on continual improvement. Strict data
governance to identify and repair flawed business processes that contribute to the
problem of faulty data is essential. Establishing data stewardship, building consensus,
managing change, and affirming the corporate commitment to viewing and treating data
as a valuable asset is vital to a successful MDM program
2. WHY MDM NOW?
Awash In DataData is a companys lifeblood, flowing through all
vital systems  marketing, sales, manufacturing,
HR, finance and all points in between. Enthusiasm
for master data management (MDM) is on the rise,
which should come as no surprise as the big,
expensive ERP, SCM and CRM systems
implemented over the past decade deliver value
only when fueled by good, accurate, consistent data.
These systems generate and/or use exorbitant
amounts of data. In just 12 to 18 months, many
large businesses double the amount of data
generated and maintained, making it increasingly
critical and difficult for companies to improve data
quality and management and extract its maximum
value.
Master data describes key areas of
your business ...
 Customers (Names, addresses, phone
numbers, ...)
 Products (Product attributes, list
prices, ...)
 Suppliers (parent entities, addresses,
parts offered, ...)
 Employees (id, name, title, address,
org unit, ...)
Master data is typically stored in
multiple, disconnected systems &
databases.
Unmanaged master data is
notoriously inaccurate, incomplete,
full of discrepancies, and leads to
poor business decisions.
Database Debacles
Bad data is poison, clogging operations, increasing
costs, prompting poor decisions and,
in the worst-case scenario, leading to jail time
for executives. Gartner estimates that more than
25% of critical data within large businesses is
somehow inaccurate or incomplete. Of 750 IT
professionals and business executives surveyed
by the Data Warehouse Institute in 2005, 53%
claim their companies have suffered losses or increased
costs because of poor data, up from 41%
in 2001.
Data Disconnect
Enterprises have long struggled with creating,
maintaining, integrating, and leveraging enterprise master data. Today, poor master data
management gets in the way of successfully completing ERP, SCM, and CRM projects or
results in an inability to achieve promised returns on investment (ROIs) from these costly
and complex systems.
Optimal Solutions Integration, Inc. Page 5
Regulatory Compliance
Escalating regulatory compliance pressure is also a powerful driver for MDM. Sarbanes-
Oxley, HIPAA, Basel II and Safe Harbor, to name but a few legislative mandates,
necessitate consistent, accurate reporting capabilities across an enterprise. Executives
need look no further than recent headlines to learn of the dire personal and professional
consequences that can result from poor data management and reporting.
MDM on the Rise
Accordingly, MDM initiatives are growing in both number and importance. Research
firm IDC expects the master data management market to reach $10.4 billion by 2009
with a compound annual growth rate over the next five years of 13.8%.1 According to
Forrester Research, the typical Global 2000-size enterprise will budget/spend $1.2
million for CDI/MDM software solutions in the next 12 to 18 months, with an additional
$4 million for systems integration services.2<b></b><u></u><b></b><u></u>
Give me your personal id .will forward some more documents.

Hi,
I would suggest you go through the business perspective of MDM first through the presentations on sdn e-learning.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/mdm-elearning
Then you can download the reference guides on Console, Import Manager, Data Manager and start going through them.
https://websmp102.sap-ag.de/nw04upgrade
(you wld need a SID for this)
Would suggest you create a dummy database in excel and try impoting it in MDM repository and find duplicates.
Hope this helps..
Rgds,
Ketan
