CluedIn vs Traditional Master Data Management Platforms
Traditional MDM platforms were designed around centralised data hubs and manual stewardship. CluedIn introduces a graph-native, agentic architecture built for continuous automation and scale.
Architectural Approach
Agentic Master Data Management represents a new architectural approach.
| CAPABILITY | ARCHITECTURE | AI CAPABILITY | GOVERNANCE MODEL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional Hub | Rule-based | Rule-based + ML assisted | Workflow-driven |
| SaaS MDM | Manual workflows | ML-assisted | Steward-driven |
| CluedIn | Relational hub | Agentic AI | Continuous automation |
Entity Resolution Comparison
Traditional platforms rely on:
-
Deterministic matching rules
-
Batch reconciliation
-
Steward review cycles
CluedIn delivers:
-
Continuous entity resolution
-
Context-aware relationship modelling
-
Autonomous improvement
Governance and Stewardship Comparison
When to Choose Traditional vs Agentic MDM
Why Enterprises Choose CluedIn
Traditional MDM requires human intervention for policy enforcement.
CluedIn automates policy enforcement and validation within a persistent entity graph.
Traditional master data maagement may suit smaller, static environments.
AGENTIC MDM IS SUITED FOR:
Enterprises adopt CluedIn to reduce operational overhead, accelerate AI readiness, and establish continuously governed master data infrastructure.
Enterprise data challenges solved.
The resource drain
Challenge: Data teams spend most of their time cleaning and maintaining data.
CluedIn: Agents automate the grunt work - detect, fix, enrich - so teams focus on strategy.
Free your experts to deliver insight, not maintenance.
Scale without scale
Challenge: Manual data management can’t keep up with business or AI velocity.
CluedIn: CluedIn Agents handle millions of records in parallel - continuously improving quality and context.
Scale 100x faster without scaling headcount.
Fragmented systems, fragmented truth
Challenge: Data lives across clouds and apps, breaking consistency and governance.
CluedIn: Agents unify and govern data across all platforms - enforcing global rules locally.
A single, trusted layer across your data landscape.
Rising cost, falling ROI
Challenge: Traditional MDM is expensive and slow to prove value.
CluedIn: Autonomous Agents deploy in minutes and cost cents per run.
$0.13 vs $1,000 per job - measurable impact from day one.
Governance at scale
Challenge: Automation often introduces compliance risk.
CluedIn: CluedIn Agents are governed by design - every action is logged and explainable.
Autonomous, auditable, and compliant by default.
Data quality blind spots
Challenge: Even ‘good’ data hides silent errors that undermine AI.
CluedIn: Agents continuously validate, enrich, and learn from feedback.
Data that gets smarter every day - and AI you can trust.
The AI readiness gap
Challenge: AI fails without complete, current, trusted data.
CluedIn: Agents continuously prepare and enrich data to feed copilots and models.
AI that performs as promised - powered by data you can depend on.
