Management of Reference and Master data is aimed to reduce cost and risk of having disparate data mainly caused by:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Management of Reference and Master Data aims to mitigate the challenges of disparate data, which typically arise from:

Organic Growth:

Unplanned Expansion: Over time, organizations often develop new systems and applications organically, leading to isolated and redundant data stores.

Inconsistent Data: These disparate systems often result in inconsistent and unreliable data.

Isolated Systems:

Siloed Applications: Independent systems that do not communicate effectively with each other can lead to multiple versions of the same data.

Lack of Integration: Without proper integration, data consistency and quality suffer.

Mergers and Acquisitions:

Combining Systems: Mergers and acquisitions introduce the challenge of integrating different data systems and standards.

Data Redundancy: Newly acquired systems often come with their own data sets, leading to redundancy and conflicts.

I think the lack of processes for data accuracy is crucial, but I can't recall if that was emphasized as a primary cause. Maybe option C?

This is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards D - migration to new tech platforms and landscape evolution. That's a common driver for reference and master data initiatives, as companies try to unify data across old and new systems.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. Reference and master data management is all about consolidating and governing core data to reduce costs and risks. The key causes of that need seem to be A - the organic growth and evolution of systems over time.

Ah, I see what they're getting at here. It's about the underlying drivers that lead to the need for reference and master data management. I'd say B and C are the most likely culprits - legacy systems and lack of data governance processes.

Okay, let me think this through. The Enterprise Continuum is about aligning an organization's architecture with its business goals, so I don't think it's just for monitoring or identifying requirements. I'm leaning towards option B or E, but I'll need to double-check the details.
