An organization's master data can be acquired from an external third-party?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

An organization's master data can indeed be acquired from external third parties. Here's how and why:

Third-Party Data Acquisition:

Enrichment: External data sources can be used to enrich an organization's master data, providing additional details and context.

Accuracy and Completeness: Acquiring data from reputable third-party sources can enhance the accuracy and completeness of master data.

Use Cases:

Market Data: Organizations may purchase market data to complement their internal customer or product data.

Reference Data: Common reference data, such as postal codes or industry classifications, are often obtained from external providers.

Integration:

Data Integration: Master data acquired from third parties needs to be integrated into the organization's MDM system, ensuring it aligns with existing data standards and governance policies.

I recall discussing how organizations often use third-party data for analytics, but I’m not confident if that applies to master data specifically.

I’m a bit confused because I thought master data was strictly internal, but I guess it could be supplemented by external data?
