Hands up if you have ever experienced challenges with supplier related data spread across systems and functions. Looking at your supplier data – how many different ways and times can data be entered? What if you could join a platform that could work across system silos (ERP and P2P systems for instance)? That enable companies to centralize, streamline and automate processes? HICX state they do and below you can learn more about how and why.
During a webinar, HICX asked attendees to rate the quality of their Master Data Management (MDM) with 61% stating they have fair to poor quality MDM and only 8% stating they have excellent MDM they feel confident with. Another 31% stated they have overall good quality data.
Following that poll question the attendees were asked how they currently manage Master Data. “With our ERP” 34% stated and “With our ERP and some third party tools” 49% stated. How well can you harmonize, digitize, consolidate and ensure compliance with data spread across multiple systems and functions?
