Which of the following reasons is a reason why MDM programs are often not successful?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

MDM programs often face challenges and can fail due to a combination of factors. Here's a detailed explanation:

Emphasis on Technology:

Technology-Centric Approach: Overemphasis on technology solutions without addressing people and process components can lead to failure. Successful MDM programs require balanced attention to technology, people, and processes.

Positioning within IT:

IT Focus: Poor positioning of the MDM program within the IT organization can lead to it being seen as a purely technical initiative, missing the necessary business alignment and support.

Business Commitment and Engagement:

Lack of Engagement: Insufficient commitment and engagement from the business side can result in inadequate support, resources, and buy-in, leading to failure.

Program vs. Project:

Long-Term Perspective: Treating MDM as a one-time project rather than an ongoing program can limit its effectiveness. MDM requires continuous improvement and adaptation to evolving business needs.

I'm surprised A isn't the correct answer. Too much emphasis on technology is definitely a reason I've seen MDM programs struggle.
