Introducing IBM Match 360 as a Service: Your Master Data Management, simplified

We’re excited to announce IBM Match 360 as a Service Essential Edition, a SaaS-based solution designed to bring the robust capabilities of our leading Master Data Management (MDM) tools to businesses of all sizes.

With Match 360 as a Service, businesses can tap into IBM’s trusted 360-degree view of master data through a simple, scalable SaaS platform. Whether you’re a small team beginning your digital transformation journey or a large enterprise seeking fast, efficient access to critical data, this solution is built to meet your needs.

Modern enterprises face the challenge of consolidating and centralizing access to data scattered across various silos and workflows.

The use of disparate applications and systems creates silos of information that all too often means this data has untapped value or potential risks in areas such as customers, organizations, accounts and location. This also creates additional data mistrust through lack of consistency; missing, stale, and inaccurate data can hinder business decisions, slow time-to-market, and increase operational inefficiencies.

That’s where MDM comes in: by unifying disparate data sources, improving governance and providing a single source of truth, MDM enables faster decision-making and drives reliable business intelligence.

With Match 360 as a Service, IBM builds on this foundation by delivering SaaS-based MDM that:

• Matches and manages multi-domain data: Intelligently combines associated records to create accurate, unified views of customers, organizations, locations and more.
