Business Need
Objectives Driving Transformation
The organization needed a trusted master data foundation capable of supporting regulatory reporting, analytics, operational scale, and future automation. Inconsistent client and reference data across the enterprise created risk, slowed onboarding, and limited confidence in downstream consumption.
- Establish a governed master data platform
- Reduce risk from inconsistent client and reference data
- Eliminate manual reconciliation and business-led validation dependencies
- Scale onboarding for new sources and consumers
- Support analytics, regulatory reporting, AI, and self-service data consumption
Create a single, governed master data platform to reduce operational risk and support scalable data consumption.
Challenge
Barriers to Progress
Master data was fragmented across multiple source systems, with inconsistent identifiers, uneven governance, and limited visibility into data lineage and ownership. Manual validation and undocumented business logic slowed decisioning, delayed corrections, and increased reliance on tribal knowledge.
- Client and reference data spread across 4+ source systems
- Inconsistent identifiers and business rules across lines of business
- Manual validation delaying time-to-value
- Limited lineage, auditability, and ownership
- Slow turnaround for data changes and corrections
Solution & Results
What Paradigm Enabled
Paradigm enabled a centralized MDM foundation using Informatica IDMC, integrating four source systems into a governed environment for trusted master data management. Automated match-and-merge, data quality rules, stewardship workflows, standardized reference data, and role-based controls improved data reliability while reducing manual effort and operational exposure.
- 60–70% reduction in manual review through automated match and merge
- 20+ data quality rules implemented
- Up to 65% deduplication of master records
- 40% improvement in issue resolution through governed stewardship workflows
- Standardized reference data for analytics and reporting alignment
- Improved regulatory readiness with role-based access and audit trails
The modernized MDM foundation positions the organization to scale data governance, accelerate trusted data consumption, and support future automation with greater control.
