AdresseMDM consultant’s work at Solita?
Our typical way of doing things is wide ranged: the team members are involved in both specification and design work, as well as the practical implementation of the designed solutions. While this provides opportunities for continuous learning, no one needs to master everything right down to the last detail, given that we work as teams in customer projects.
Our team specialising in MDM projects employs roughly 30 consultants. When joining to a master data management project it’s not expected that you are an expert of the customer’s business environment right away. Nevertheless, it’s important to have a genuine interest about the customer's business and it's features regarding data management. Therefore, almost every MDM project starts with asking the obvious questions, such as “why”, and questioning the existing assumptions. Want to see an example of an MDM project? See our work for Fortum!
While we do not approach master data management technology first, nor do we underestimate the significance of tools. Our preferred tool in our customer projects is Semarchy, which we consider to be the most sophisticated and agile MDM tool in the world. We would also be happy to familiarise our new colleagues with its secrets and inner workings.
