Data Management Consultant
Our typical way of doing things is wide-ranging: the team members are involved in both specification and design work, as well as the practical implementation of the designed solutions. This approach encourages ongoing learning, and since we tackle customer projects collaboratively as teams, no one is required to be an expert in every aspect.
Our team specialising in MDM projects employs over 50 consultants. In the data management area combining the MDM specialist with the data governance advisors and data architects, there is a Solita-wide international community, which has more than 100 people. We find it important to have a genuine interest in the customer's business and its features regarding data management. Therefore, almost every MDM project starts with asking the obvious questions, such as “what” and “why”, and questioning the existing assumptions.
We prioritize our customers’ business needs and processes, ensuring that technology serves as an enabler rather than the starting point. While we recognize the importance of robust tools in master data management, our experience with solutions such as Semarchy has shown us the value of adaptable and sophisticated platforms that support our clients’ goals.
