What is Enterprise Data Management (EDM)?

Definition

Enterprise Data Management refers to the governance, processes, and systems used to control and maintain organisational data assets. Within PIM environments, EDM ensures product data is accurate, consistent, and accessible across business units. It supports better decision-making, regulatory compliance, and streamlined operational workflows.

Enterprise management connects domain ownership and shared standards across business information. For example, an autonomous product data operation could take products linked to suppliers and selling locations, check identifiers and governance rules across the related domains, and prepare consistent authorized records for the operation.
