Quotes

Omer Minkara, Vice President and Principal Analyst, Aberdeen: “If you don’t currently have unified views of customer data, we highly recommend that you consider building the capabilities needed to help align your activities with those of the Best-in-Class firms that enjoy superior performance results. If you plan to build unified views but struggle with where and how to get started, then we highly recommend you implement the activities widely used by Best-in-Class firms.”

Chas Kielt, Program Director, Customer and Content Marketing, Reltio: “The research conducted by Omer Minkara and his team at Aberdeen show what is possible when customer data from multiple sources is unified, consistent, and made accessible in real-time to all business users and downstream applications. Once a master data management solution is implemented within an organization, companies can better understand buyer needs and activities to generate positive outcomes across the entire business. There is no faster way to deploy MDM and speed time to value than by using an MDM SaaS platform.”
