Management of Reference and Master data is aimed to reduce cost and risk of having disparate data mainly caused by:

AOrganic growth of systems and data, isolated systems, mergers and acquisitions

BHigh number of legacy applications and lack of expertise to evolve or replace them

CLack of appropriate processes to assure data availability and accuracy

DMigration to new technology platforms and evolution of landscape

EPoor or non-existent data documentation available for developers and business analysts

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Management of Reference and Master Data aims to mitigate the challenges of disparate data, which typically arise from:

Organic Growth:

Unplanned Expansion: Over time, organizations often develop new systems and applications organically, leading to isolated and redundant data stores.

Inconsistent Data: These disparate systems often result in inconsistent and unreliable data.

Isolated Systems:

Siloed Applications: Independent systems that do not communicate effectively with each other can lead to multiple versions of the same data.

Lack of Integration: Without proper integration, data consistency and quality suffer.

Mergers and Acquisitions:

Combining Systems: Mergers and acquisitions introduce the challenge of integrating different data systems and standards.

Data Redundancy: Newly acquired systems often come with their own data sets, leading to redundancy and conflicts.
