Executive Summary

The rapid rise and accessibility of connected devices, automation and AI has made data critical to organizations looking to improve efficiency, innovate processes and make data-driven decisions. Yet, many industrial firms struggle to extract value from these data due to inconsistent, siloed or poor-quality asset information. Asset master data management (asset MDM) has emerged as a strategic solution, providing a centralized, accurate and governed source of truth for asset data. By integrating OT, IT and engineering systems, asset MDM enhances data quality, supports real-time analytics and enables stronger governance across platforms. With industrial firms facing growing pressure to optimize operations and meet digital transformation goals, this report explores the evolving role of asset MDM in industrial data management, key trends shaping adoption, expected benefits and essential considerations for successful implementation.
