Key Features and Functions of MDS:

Main Data Management: MDS allows for centralized management of master data that is shared and utilized by various systems and applications within an organization. This data can include information about products, customers, employees, suppliers, and other important categories.

Data Modeling: It enables the creation of data models that match the structure and requirements of the organization. Within these models, entities, attributes, and relationships can be defined.

Data Integration and Synchronization: MDS integrates with various data sources, allowing for synchronization and updating of master data across the entire organization.

Versioning and Change Management: It offers the capability to version data, enabling tracking of changes and management of different versions of master data.

Data Quality Management: Provides tools to maintain high data quality, including validation and cleansing functions.

Security and Access Control: MDS allows for defining permissions and access rules to data, ensuring that only authorized individuals can make changes or view sensitive information.

Workflow and Business Processes: The ability to create workflow processes ensures that data goes through the appropriate approval stages before publication or update.

MDS is particularly useful in large organizations where there is a need to coordinate and manage master data across different systems and applications. This enables effective management of information resources, which is crucial for making informed business decisions and maintaining high-quality operations.
