MDM Framework on Blockchain
Organizations are now investing heavily in Artificial Intelligence and Big Data. The success of such Enterprise Transformation initiatives is heavily dependant on the quality of the supporting Master Data. Hence, the MASTER DATA of an enterprise is one of its most critical assets.
The following list is a representative subset of Business Entities that are classified as Master Data.
- Customers
- Patients (Healthcare)
- Parts (Manufacturing)
- Products
- Suppliers
- Dealers
- Accounts
- Locations
- Plants/Warehouses (Manufacturing)
While MDM Tools, i.e. the toolset and framework designed to enable organizations to Define, Collect, Manage and Share the Master Data have been in existence for a while now, they are limited by the shortcomings of a Centralized Database Model.
