Gartner Magic Quadrant for Master Data Management Solutions 2018

Master data management (MDM) is a technology-enabled discipline in which business and IT work together to ensure the uniformity, accuracy, stewardship, semantic consistency and accountability of an enterprise’s official, shared master data assets.

MDM solutions are enterprise software products that:

o   Support the global identification, linking and synchronization of master data across heterogeneous data sources through semantic reconciliation of master data.

o   Create and manage a central, persisted system of record or index of record for master data.

o   Support the four MDM hub implementation styles, as defined by Gartner (see the Completeness of Vision section, “Offering [Product] Strategy”).

o   Enable generation and delivery of a trusted version of one or more subject areas (i.e., data domains) to all stakeholders, in support of various business initiatives.

o   Support ongoing master data stewardship and governance requirements through workflow-based monitoring and corrective-action techniques.

o   Are agnostic to the business application landscape in which they reside; that is, they do not assume or depend on the presence of any particular business application(s) to function (aka “application-neutral”).

Gartner Magic Quadrant for Operational Database Management Systems : 2018

By 2023, 75% of all databases will be on a cloud platform — a development that will drastically change the DBMS vendor landscape.

The operational database management system (OPDBMS) market is defined by relational and nonrelational database management products suitable for the traditional transactions used to support business processes. These include a broad range of enterprise-level applications — both purchased business applications, such as ERP and CRM applications, and custom-made transactional systems. Gartner defines a DBMS as a complete software system used to define, create, update, manage and query a database.
