How Tamr’s AI-Native MDM Overcomes Data Integration Challenges

Trustworthy master data is the foundation for high-performing organizations. But too often, master data management (MDM) solutions are disconnected from critical enterprise systems, trapping data in legacy silos and making it difficult—if not impossible—to gain access to the valuable, real-time insights needed to make smarter decisions. The good news, however, is that with the advent of AI-native MDM solutions like Tamr, MDM integration has become a whole lot easier. 

From an API-first connectivity model to a “bring-your-own-agent” architecture, AI-native MDM can easily connect with the business-critical solutions that create, consume, and govern data, enabling organizations to ensure they always have a reliable, shared source of truth that keeps operations aligned, decisions informed, and the business moving forward. Let’s take a closer look at the six ways Tamr’s AI-native MDM eliminates integration bottlenecks by connecting systems, applications, and agent-driven workflows. ‍

Built to Connect: 6 Ways Tamr’s AI-Native MDM Overcomes Data Integration Challenges

Tamr enables faster decisions and smoother operations by seamlessly delivering unified golden records across the business.

1. Operational, Analytical, and Direct Consumption 

Tamr’s API-first architecture enables organizations to easily connect with systems across the data ecosystem to ensure every workflow is powered by real-time, trusted master data. Using modern, well-documented APIs, Tamr can connect to a myriad of systems including: 

• Operational CRM, ERP, and CDP solutions such as Salesforce, Oracle, and SAP
• Analytics and business intelligence tools like Qlik and Tableau
• Direct consumption endpoints such as Slack and Jira

‍2. Cloud Data Platforms

Tamr’s AI-native MDM platform easily integrates with an organization’s cloud data warehouse or data lake, enabling them to deliver clean, unified data to the business-critical applications that users depend on the most. Using Tamr’s prebuilt, two-way connectors, organizations can streamline data onboarding with industry-leading cloud data platforms including:

• AWS
• GCS
• ADLS2
• Snowflake
• OneLake
• BigQuery

3. iPaaS Partners

Tamr supports thousands of prebuilt connectors that plug seamlessly into any application or pipeline, enabling organizations to quickly and easily connect applications, data, and systems—while eliminating the burden of building and maintaining custom integrations. Tamr supports leading Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) providers such as:

• Boomi
• Workato
• Zapier

‍4. Data Enrichment Providers

Tamr’s AI-native MDM helps organizations ensure their records remain fresh and complete by making it easy to access trusted, third-party data, including data from public sources and vendor-licensed data. Using Tamr’s pre-built integrations, organizations benefit from seamless enrichment without the need for coding or custom builds. Tamr delivers integration with industry-leading, third-party data enrichment providers including: 

• Dun & Bradstreet
• S&P Global
• PitchBook
• CMS National Plan and Provider Enumeration System (NPPES)
• Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)

5. “Bring-Your-Own-Agent” Architecture

Tamr’s “bring-your-own-agent” (BYOA) architecture makes it easy for organizations to incorporate their own AI agents into MDM workflows, enabling flexible, low-code automation that’s tailored to their business’s domain-specific needs. With Tamr’s built-in agent library as a starting point, businesses can plug in custom agents to further expand data curation and data mastering capabilities across the enterprise. 

‍6. MCP Integration

Tamr’s LLM connectivity with MCP integration enables teams to leverage LLMs and build reliable AI agents that strengthen master data management by confidently evaluating, understanding, and updating data with precision and accuracy. Equipped with clean, real-time master data, these tools and agents have the context needed to search, make decisions, and take actions such as retrieving trusted records, validating and updating data, resolving duplicates, and triggering downstream actions.

‍An Event-Driven Architecture That Keeps Data In Sync

Integrated data only works when it remains accurate and up to date. With its event-driven architecture, Tamr’s AI-native MDM ensures that enterprise data remains accurate, consistent, and up-to-date across systems and silos. And when data changes—which it will—Tamr employs its event-driven architecture and a deterministic user interface to propagate that change across operational systems in real time. As a result, data consumers can feel confident that the golden records they are accessing are truly up-to-date.

Further, Tamr’s event-driven architecture also prevents data degradation by flagging duplicates while the data is still in motion and preventing them from entering the system in the first place. And because the data updates in real time, users can rest assured that they are using the best possible insights for decision-making and day-to-day business operations. 

Moving Beyond Siloed, Disconnected Systems

Built from the ground up with AI at its core, Tamr simplifies complex data integration across silos and domains and automates entity resolution; improves data quality; and delivers clean, golden records to downstream systems in real time. Our flexible APIs, event-driven architecture, automation, and integration patterns are easy to configure, enabling organizations to accelerate workflows and quickly change course as needs—and data—change. Using Tamr’s pre-built connectors and low-code workflows, data teams can eliminate custom builds, lower integration costs, and reduce engineering overhead, freeing non-technical teams from integration bottlenecks and delivering the clean, trustworthy data they need to drive better, more effective decision-making.
