6 Benefits of a SaaS MDM Solution

If you’re in the market for a master data management (MDM) solution, odds are you are debating whether or not a cloud-based (or SaaS) MDM solution is right for your organization. But the advantages of the cloud are clearer than ever before. As modern business—and the data that supports it—becomes increasingly complex, being cloud-based has become a necessity to support fast, scalable, and intelligent data management. Offering lower upfront costs and quicker time-to-value, along with greater flexibility and built-in scalability, SaaS MDM is the modern, agile solution that delivers benefits well beyond traditional on-premises MDM.  

6 Benefits of Cloud MDM

To help you understand the value of a cloud-based MDM, we’ve outlined six key benefits that demonstrate the measurable impact and long-term value it provides.

1. Greater scalability: Unlike on-premises solutions designed for static data, SaaS MDM automatically scales with your data volumes, ensuring consistent performance and capacity as the needs of your business grow and evolve and your MDM experience moves from analytical to operational use cases.

2. Lower costs: Cloud-native MDM solutions eliminate the need for expensive, on-premises infrastructure, resulting in lower hardware, maintenance, and labor costs. 

3. Quick deployment: Cloud MDM solutions—if AI-based—are fast and easy to implement because they don’t require extensive manual human effort to configure, curate, and maintain the rules. In addition, provisioning is instantaneous, which means there is no downtime or delays in providing users with access to the solution. 

4. Simpler maintenance: Because the solution provider delivers regular updates, patches, and security fixes automatically, SaaS MDM reduces the burden of system maintenance and ensures your organization is always up-to-date on the latest features and upgrades. 

5. Easier to use: Using streamlined workflows and pre-trained machine learning models, AI-based SaaS MDM sidesteps the need for complex rules, increasing the speed and efficiency of the onboarding process from source to ingestion. It also allows users to provide feedback, empowering them to take a more active role in curating and improving the data.  

6. Faster time-to-value: Cloud MDM solutions are quick to implement—think days or weeks, not months or years—which means data teams can see measurable results and meaningful impact shortly after implementation.

Is Moving to Cloud-based MDM Right for You?

Cloud MDM solutions offer unmatched scalability, flexibility, and access to cutting-edge, AI-based capabilities that empower teams to efficiently and effectively modernize their MDM programs. By moving to a cloud-native solution, businesses can reduce infrastructure expenses, streamline maintenance, and respond quickly to evolving data volumes and business needs without the burdens associated with on-premises solutions. 

Said differently, delaying a move to cloud MDM can mean falling behind. On-premises systems often come with higher maintenance costs, cumbersome manual workflows, and limited ability to scale as your data expands in volume and complexity across a growing number of sources. That’s why, for most organizations, the question is no longer if they should migrate—but how soon they can begin.
