“While many companies know that they have to respond to consumers’ demands, those with an active Master Data Management strategy have the best chance of responding effectively.

Know Your Customer (KYC) is a well established term within data management and linked to fraud protection and anti money laundering.
Know Your Supplier (KYS) is indeed an equally important side of party master data management.
