Implementation of CMDM is transformative in the back office first, but then with the potential for a complete shift in the customer experience in relation to the potential for personalization and customized engagement but for this to happen, you have to be confident that your business is ready to embark upon such a journey.
MDM focuses principally on the management aspects of the customer with a respectful tip of the hat in relation to the duties performed by those trying to grow the business through marketing initiatives (CDP), the transactional systems (ERP, CRM, eCommerce, POS) and the reporting, analytics, forecasting and insights platforms.
Pretectum believes that where these other systems fall short, is either in the complexity of their implementation when focused on data management tasks, or their inability to unify the relationship over common data. We know this is a problem because even when these other systems are implemented with supposed master record management capabilities, they’re found to fall short of the varied expectations of the diverse teams that are expected to use them, or, in fact perhaps worse, access to them is constrained to a few, exclusively.
The Customer Master Data Management (CMDM) can operate in a number of different ways within any given business depending on the deployment approach. This approach is determined by the upstream or downstream influences and requirements of either business units, processes or technologies.
Defining the approach for Customer Master Data Management (MDM) for your organization means also understanding the boundaries of functionality. Define it right and you will have a goldmine of opportunities.
The term MDM has become progressively ambiguous over the years as vendors have branched out into areas of functionality that are not necessarily aligned with the optimal concept of master data management. This is just as true for the customer MDM as it is for the supplier, the employee and other master data elements.
Pretectum’s view is that IT should not own or manage the content of the MDM, they should care for the platform but the ownership of the data and the quality of the data should rest within the business and business users.

Whether you’re in Product or Service management, Sales, or Marketing you know that having an understanding of the customer, analyzing, and keeping track of their behaviour is critical for the effectiveness of your business.
Customers make thousands of calculated and spur-of-the-moment decisions every waking hour of the day from deciding what they will eat to what they’ll wear. It is easy to think that the many ‘buy’ decisions, in particular, are made without too much thought, particularly the less significant ones.
Decoding the thought processes behind customer decisions is no mean feat, particularly if you don’t have the data to back up your hypotheses around why customers do certain things.
