The Open Cloud MDM Alliance (OCMA) and HubDock
The imperative for an Open Master Data Management (MDM) standard is clear and pressing.
Without such a standard, companies and enterprises worldwide will navigate an increasingly complex maze of fragmented data systems, encountering growing inefficiencies and data inconsistencies. This escalating complexity inevitably leads to rising tech debts and substantial operational challenges.
Organizations face a dilemma: Either grapple with these escalating problems or turn to costly, vendor-specific MDM and Data Mesh solutions that can compromise flexibility and scalability.
OCMA addresses these challenges by advocating for a third option: a standardized, interoperable MDM ecosystem, unifying integrations, enhancing data quality and fostering a paradigm shift in the data management practices of the software industry.
About OCMA
By uniting customer-focused software vendors, innovative organizations, and pioneering companies, OCMA stands as a groundbreaking alliance committed to transforming Master Data Management (MDM) in the global business landscape.
It recognizes the significant challenges businesses worldwide face with increasingly complex and fragmented master data.
This initiative moves away from costly, vendor-specific solutions, aiming to standardize and streamline data management practices across various industries, enhancing overall business efficiency and decision-making.
OCMA's mission is to establish the first 'Open Industry Standard for Master Data Management (MDM)', a transformative approach combining a 'Hub' — for centralizing and customizing master data — with the 'Dock' — to ensure seamless integration with external systems, consistency, scalability, and operational excellence in data management.
HubDock, as an initiator and founding member, supports OCMA's mission by contributing foundational concepts and resources. While the OCMA independently governs the development of the standard, HubDock enables a synergy-rich ecosystem that empowers its stakeholders and drives innovation.
