Microsoft Unveils OneMDM UniVerse: A Centralized Master Data Platform for Datacenter Expansion
Microsoft's data center expansion is getting a much-needed boost from a new centralized master data platform called OneMDM UniVerse.
The team behind Microsoft Cloud Operations + Innovation (CO+I) built OneMDM to manage materials, suppliers, equipment, and locations for their massive datacenter buildout. Dikul Singh, principal product manager at CO+I, emphasized the importance of master data management: 'Everyone is focused on building really good agents and really good workflows. But all of that begins to fail at scale if you don't have the foundation set up.'
With over 100 different systems in use across planning, supply chain, construction, and operations functions, CO+I faced a daunting challenge: ensuring consistency and accuracy across disparate data sources.
