Title: Customer Data Integration: Reaching a Single Version of the Truth
Authors: Jill Dyché and Evan Levy
Description:
Customers represent any firm's most precious value-creating asset. To keep these valuable assets, businesses must maximize their value to each customer by taking each customer's point of view and turning that incoming tide of data into usable, coherent information. Packed with readable real-world examples, checklists, and tools, this book encompasses the new set of technologies designed to help companies conveniently and cost-efficiently turn raw customer data into usable, reliable customer information. Written by internationally renowned authors and enterprise data experts, this book defines CDI-what it is and why it's a critical solution to customer-focused business programs-and puts CDI in context with other emerging trends, such as Master Data Management (MDM). By explaining why customer data integration is so important for business strategy and growth, the book also helps to form decisions regarding vendor selection, CDI development, and usage to help make organizations on both the business and IT fronts more agile.
