As you tackle your ongoing Master Data Management challenges, it’s important to keep a few things in mind: Hierarchies don’t really exist. Relational isn’t about relationships. Foreign keys aren’t relationships, but constraints. It’s crazy, isn’t it?
Join Master Data Management expert Karen Lopez and Neo Technology’s Kami Nixon as they discuss today’s MDM requirements and explore the companies that are getting MDM right.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Why hierarchies aren’t real
- How to choose the right technology for the stories your data wants to tell, so your business can use data in ways it couldn’t do before
- Why relationships are just as important as the things they relate
- What foreign keys really do to your architecture
- How companies like Cisco and Polyvore use graphs to get real business value from Master Data
