Case Study Ciba - Organizing Master Data Management

As part of the Enterprise project, Ciba started a Master Data Management (MDM) initiative with the vision to consolidate master data across the company, to have strict master data governance rules and responsibilities in place, to formalize master data maintenance processes and validations in order to ensure master data quality, and to document key objects in a central database repository.Six key principles set the top framework for master data and strengthen the data quality awareness among master data stakeholders and users. The new MDM organization consists of three closely interlinked parts: a business data ownership model, a stewardship organization, and a maintenance organization. Local and global workflows have been implemented to support master maintenance processes.
