What do we want to do
In computing, master data management (MDM) comprises a set of processes and tools that consistently defines and
manages the non-transactional data entities of an organization (also called reference data). MDM has the objective of
providing processes for collecting, aggregating, matching, consolidating, quality-assuring, persisting and distributing such
data throughout an organization to ensure consistency and control in the ongoing maintenance and application use of this
information.
The term recalls the concept of a master file from an earlier computing era. MDM is similar to, and some would say the
same as, virtual or federated database management.

course

expertise in the job market)
• A glimpse to the true nature of ERP systems (a plus when applying for

• A leg between the door to Wärtsilä (or to the many consultant
companies which are providing services to us )
