KPIs and the reliability of the risk indicators. Because of
this, it is not unusual that the same KPI on the one hand
supplied from the production data base and on the other
from BI do not have the same value. Which one is correct?

them very clearly. It is clear that this work is a contribution
that cannot be ignored and which is of great value, to the
good management of an MDM project.”

order to define the best architecture and MDM usage for
each IS, thus paving the way to IS maturity improvement.”
