Master Data Management
Master data management is the discipline of defining and maintaining a consistent, authoritative version of an organization's core data across systems.
Example
A business decides that client contact details are always edited in one system and flow out to every other tool, rather than being separately maintained in each.
Why it matters
A consistent, governed approach to core data prevents the same client, product, or vendor record from drifting apart across every tool that touches it.
Limits and cautions
Full master data management is a real, ongoing discipline; a small business may not need its full formality to get most of the benefit.
Relevance to Stelaah
Stelaah's connected records act as a practical form of master data management for client, project, and financial information within a workspace.
This connection describes product intent, not a guarantee that every plan or workflow supports every related capability.
