Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Master data management refers to a process of creating a single master or reference copy of data that is shared across an organization, ensuring that all departments and individuals have access to consistent, accurate, and up-to-date information. By including interns in the master data management system, the HR and finance departments can ensure that they are both using the same data and reduce the risk of inconsistencies. Shadow systems, normalization, and database schema are all important considerations in database management but may not directly address the issue of inconsistent data between different departments.
