The manufacturing industry has made substantial progress in recent years but the future is set to be the most difficult in two decades. This is a result of problems both in the financial markets and trends like traceability, supply chain integration and process integration/automation with high need for information exchange. This leads to growing challenges with existing information structure and Master Data quality levels.
For that reason it is more than ever crucial to have a conjoint IM platform. With all data gathered in one information system the company has unlimited possibilities to compare data, and managers can focus on decision making instead of wasting time finding the relevant data. Control of Master Data is also a prerequisite for enabling process automation and change.
