Book Description

The latest techniques for building a customer-focused enterprise environment

"The authors have appreciated that MDM is a complex multidimensional area, and have set out to cover each of these dimensions in sufficient detail to provide adequate practical guidance to anyone implementing MDM. While this necessarily makes the book rather long, it means that the authors achieve a comprehensive treatment of MDM that is lacking in previous works." -- Malcolm Chisholm, Ph.D., President, AskGet.com Consulting, Inc.

Regain control of your master data and maintain a master-entity-centric enterprise data framework using the detailed information in this authoritative guide.
