Master Data Management (MDM++)
Master Data Management (MDM)
Master Data Management (MDM) is the discipline of creating and maintaining a single, consistent, and accurate source of truth for an organization’s most critical data—such as customers, products, suppliers, employees, locations, financial structures, and reference data.
In a data-driven world, MDM is no longer optional—it’s essential for maintaining competitiveness, ensuring compliance, and enabling agile decision-making. Fragmented or inaccurate data can result in operational inefficiencies, increased risk, and poor business outcomes. MDM addresses these challenges by providing a centralized, governed framework that ensures data is clean, validated, and trustworthy.
Master Data Management (MDM++)
Trusted data by design. Scalable workflows by default. AI-ready operations for tomorrow.
In today’s digital-first world, every strategic decision, customer interaction, and AI initiative depends on having clean, consistent, and trusted data. Soltec, in partnership with Manch Technologies, delivers MDM++ – a next-generation approach to Master Data Management that combines real-time validation, no-code workflow automation, governance, and AI readiness into a single operating model.
With MDM++, organizations move beyond traditional, IT-heavy MDM programs and establish a living, governed data foundation that supports day-to-day operations and long-term AI strategy.
What Is MDM++?
MDM++ is Soltec’s recognized Best Practice Solution of Master Data Management. It goes beyond maintaining a golden record to embed:
- Point-of-entry data validation – ensuring data is correct before it touches your core systems.
- No-code workflow automation – orchestrating approvals, enrichment, and stewardship across teams.
- Embedded governance and auditability – defining ownership, controls, and traceability by design.
- AI readiness – structuring data for analytics, AI, and automation.
The result is a trusted, governed operating layer that connects people, process, and systems.
Why MDM++ Matters Now
Common data challenges include:
- Multiple versions of the same customer, product, or supplier.
- Manual spreadsheets used to fix or reconcile data.
- Inconsistent reporting and KPIs across departments.
- Delays in onboarding due to data issues.
- AI initiatives stalling due to untrusted data.
MDM++ solves these by standardizing how data is created, validated, approved, and maintained.

Challenges with Traditional MDM Platforms
Despite the promise of MDM, many platforms fall short in practice
Delayed Cleansing:
Data validation happens after ingestion, leading to poor-quality records in core systems.
Limited Workflow Automation
Lifecycle management often relies on external tools or manual processes.
Lack of Upfront Validation
Most tools don’t verify or authenticate data before it enters business systems.
Rigid Architecture
Legacy platforms lack flexibility to adapt to evolving tech and business needs.
Poor External Integration
Many platforms struggle to support regional rules or real-time API integrations at scale.

- First Time Right
- Right at the Source
- Governance by Design
With Manch, clean and validated data is captured from the beginning—streamlining downstream systems and eliminating costly rework.
