What is Unified Data Management?
United Data Management (UDM) describes the process of consolidating disparate data sources to create a single data narrative within a data warehouse. Siloed data obfuscates the bigger data picture and prevents data from being effective and actionable. UDM fosters interdepartmental cooperation by creating a centralized data repository through which all company data is parsed, cleaned and analyzed to produce actionable insights. With one platform handling data migration and readiness, IT personnel and non-tech users throughout the company have a shared language through which to communicate about, develop and act on data findings.
How Can I Use Unified Data Management?
The holistic unified data model that UDM offers can have a transformative impact on how companies of all sizes leverage their data to meet business objectives. Firstly, one IT team can take responsibility for overseeing the migration, merging, cleaning, and analysis of all data, reducing both personnel and data redundancies. Moreover, UDM platforms are designed to be accessible to employees with different levels of technology comfort, encouraging staff members from different units to adopt the technology and act based on the prescriptive analytics of the model.
