<p>There&rsquo;s growing recognition in the analyst community that reference data is a form of master data that requires its own governance. Locations, currency codes, financial accounts, and organizational hierarchies are so widely used in an organization that mismatches can result in: reconciliation issues, poor quality analytics or even transactional failures. &nbsp;</p>
<p>While it&rsquo;s easy to see how poor reference data management (RDM) can cause problems, many companies struggle with determining how to get started. Multiple questions arise: &nbsp;What&rsquo;s the scope? How should one choose between RDM solutions? How do I compute ROI? To answer these questions and more, Orchestra Networks teamed up with Aaron Zornes, Chief Research Office of the MDM Institute and Godfather of MDM, for: Everything you ever wanted to know about Reference Data (but were afraid to ask).</p>
<p>In this hour long webcast featuring Aaron Zornes (MDM Institute) and Conrad Chuang (Orchestra Networks) you will learn the:</p>
<ul>
<li dir="ltr"><span>Characteristics of reference data,</span></li>
<li dir="ltr"><span>Key features of a reference data management (RDM) solution,</span></li>
<li dir="ltr"><span>Lessons learned RDM implementations, </span></li>
<li dir="ltr">and more</li>
