In the previous article, I explained you the importance of a Master Data Management in the company. It allows managing the consistency and the quality of data, and it insures the completeness of Data.

Among tools that we can use to provide the master data management, and to offer one referential database that will be used by all the different sources in the company, we propose Master Data Services for Microsoft SQL Server.

In this Article, I'll show you how to configure the MDS after installing it from the SQL Server 2016 Setup.
