Comments on: Getting Started with Master Data Management (MDM) http://www.gilliganondata.com/index.php/2009/01/11/getting-started-with-master-data-management-mdm/ Thoughts, musings, and, hopefully, not too many redundancies on the world of business data.

I'm assuming the piece was compiled in 2007. From my view, the predictions for 2008 are still works in progress, for the most part. I was not trying to imply that companies were not tackling MDM, but I do think most companies that have spend at least the first year coming to a realization of how complex the situation is. As the link you added indicates, there is a shortage of skills and talent available to bring a successful MDM initiative to fruition. @Aaron Thanks for the link — that is a pretty fascinating listing of predictions (as well as a nice breakdown of the issues).
