We map the work to the rules that apply to you, such as the personal data privacy law and the national information assurance standard, and prepare the evidence in a form your compliance team can file.
Doha Solutions
Best MDM, PIM and data quality company in Doha
One trusted record for customers, products and suppliers, with stewards who keep it that way. Hosn Al Tomoh works with organisations in Doha on master data, agreeing scope, responsibilities and proof of completion for each phase from the start.
Master data management gives customers, products and suppliers one trusted record that every system uses. The work is as much about stewardship as technology: match and merge rules, data owners, and quality measures checked every day.
In Qatar, the personal data privacy law sets the baseline, the National Cyber Security Agency publishes the national information assurance standard, and banks follow Qatar Central Bank requirements. We plan hosting, data classification and evidence around these from the start.
Before go-live, we run a full rehearsal of the cutover with the team who will operate the service, and agree in advance how problems will be escalated in the first weeks after launch.
Where you already work with systems integrators or vendors, we can deliver in partnership with them, with each party's responsibilities written into the contract.
Where the effort goes
We concentrate on the points below, because that is where the work usually stumbles.
- Match and merge rules agreed with the business, with a review queue for doubtful cases.
- A named steward for each data domain, with clear authority to correct records.
- Quality scores published to the CRM, commerce and analytics teams.
Where programmes go wrong
Master data programmes stall when they try to fix every domain at once. We start with the domain that causes the most rework, usually customer or product, and prove the stewardship model there.
We record decisions, responsibilities and test results as we go, so internal audit and regulators can trace every decision and who approved it.
Common questions
What buyers usually ask before a first workshop.
The data steward for that domain, under rules agreed with the business. The platform sends doubtful matches to the steward and keeps a history of every change.
Yes. We document the current integrations first and keep existing systems running alongside the new ones until the switch-over is proven.
Stages of the work
A phased approach, from assessment to knowledge transfer.
Assess
We review the current state, the risks and the quick wins.
Plan
We draw up a phased plan with scope, team, responsibilities and acceptance criteria for each phase.
Deliver and verify
We deliver in phases and show that each one meets its criteria.
Transfer knowledge
