Dama CDMP-RMD Exam - Topic 7 Question 6 Discussion

Posted by Kimberlie on Jun 23, 2024 at 03:34 PM

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

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.

E is a big problem in many companies. Documentation is often lacking!
BE
Beatriz 11 months ago
Wait, can we really blame it all on D? Seems too simplistic.
RO
Rosalind 11 months ago
C makes sense too. Processes are key for data quality.
AR
Artie 12 months ago
I think B is more accurate. Legacy apps are a huge issue.
JA
Jacki 12 months ago
Definitely A! Mergers really mess up data.
JE
Jerry 12 months ago
I vaguely remember a case study about poor documentation causing data problems, which could relate to option E, but I'm not confident.
SH
Shalon 1 year ago
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?
NI
Nieves 1 year ago
I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like legacy applications could also contribute to data issues, which makes option B a contender.
HO
Honey 1 year ago
I remember discussing how organic growth and mergers can lead to data silos, so I think option A might be the right choice.
OL
Oliva 1 year ago
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.
JO
Josefa 1 year ago
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.
JA
Javier 1 year ago
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.
TH
Thurman 1 year ago
Hmm, I'm a bit unsure on this one. The options all seem plausible, but I'm not sure which one is the best answer. I'll have to carefully read through each choice and think it through.
LE
Lettie 1 year ago
This question seems straightforward. I think the answer is A - organic growth, isolated systems, and mergers/acquisitions are common causes of disparate data that reference and master data management aims to address.
JU
Julio 1 year ago
This seems like a straightforward question about HP MFP features. I'll carefully read through the options and think about which one could help reduce environmental impact.
GE
Gerald 1 year ago
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.

Wait, is this a trick question? I mean, they're all sort of right, aren't they? I'm going to go with A just to play it safe. Don't want to get tripped up by the exam gods!
