Ventana Research Advises Organizations on How to Leverage Master Data Management to Achieve a New Competitive Advantage

FOSTER CITY, Calif., Jan. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Siperian, Inc., a leading provider of a proven and flexible multidomain master data management (MDM) platform, today announced the availability of a new webinar titled, "The New Competitive Advantage: Smarter, Faster and Better Master Data Management."  Led by MDM expert Mark Smith of Ventana Research, the online event discusses how companies can optimize their business processes and achieve more accurate business intelligence.  To view this complimentary webinar visit: http://forms.siperian.com/content/ventanahp

In the past, many business process optimization and business intelligence initiatives were unable to deliver measurable results largely because organizations took shortcuts to quickly implement their master data management foundation.  As a result, organizations faced unsatisfactory outcomes and delayed benefits typically delivered by a well-thought out MDM program.  Today, there are smarter, faster and better methods available to implement MDM.  With years of deployment history and many different approaches to choose from, CIOs can gain increased ROI for their technology investments through better and more effective business processes.

"Acquiring and deploying information management technology such as MDM can drive real process improvements by connecting business users and partners," said Mark Smith, CEO and EVP of Research from Ventana Research.  "However, the typical enterprise technology infrastructure is made up of a combination of a decades old portfolio of disparate technologies and applications which make it difficult for organizations to harvest their data and make it actionable.  MDM drives improvements in both the consistency and the quality of enterprise data, resulting in improved business processes along with better decision making and improved business intelligence."

During this 45-minute webinar, Mr. Smith and Ravi Shankar, senior director of Product Marketing at Siperian discuss the five key requirements to achieving master data management success:

• Re-examination of both the enterprise and information architecture;
• Best practices of interfacing to existing ERP and CRM investments;
• How to build cost-effective business intelligence;
• Data governance that works; and
• Optimized MDM technology.
