Master Data Management

Partnered with Informatica, CM Inc. brings you world-leading MDM. MDM is a comprehensive method of enabling an enterprise to link all of its critical data to one file, called a master file, that provides a common point of reference. When properly done, master data management streamlines data sharing among personnel and departments. In addition, master data management can facilitate computing in multiple system architectures, platforms and applications. At its core MDM can be viewed as a "discipline for specialized quality improvement" defined by the policies and procedures put in place by a data governance organization. The ultimate goal being to provide the end user community with a "trusted single version of the truth" from which to base decisions.


MDM is not simply another application, rather, it is a new way of looking at your data which will save your organization money and time, while delivering significant efficiencies.

In addition to providing access to Informatica’s MDM consultants, CM Inc. offers, at very competitive rates, expertise via our own staff and sub-contractors, as appropriate, such as:
