HP is not a name you'd associate with master data management (MDM) or data quality software, but executives at the recently renamed HP Business Intelligence Solutions unit say that's one reason why HP is in an ideal position to offer impartial advice and implementation services around a cohesive MDM, data quality and data governance strategy. Thus, HP recently unveiled deeper MDM, Information Quality and Information Governance services that expand on the data integration and BI consulting practice HP gained with the late 2006 acquisition of Knightsbridge.
"Many companies are still struggling to get their arms around their enterprise shared resources, meaning aligning around the customer and product master data, reconciling their metadata strategies and getting their arms around data stewardship between the business and IT communities," says Valerie Logan, a Knightsbridge veteran and now a strategy and planning executive for HP BI Solutions. "Hence we've developed enhanced capabilities around master data, information quality and information governance."
