The title of this post is taken from the Gartner Critical Capabilities for Master Data Management Solutions.
One implication of this observation is that you when selecting your solution will not be able to use a generic analyst ranking of solutions as examined in the post Generic Ranking of Vendors versus an Individual Selection Service.
This is the reason of being for The Disruptive MDM / PIM / DQM List.
Another implication is that even the best fit MDM solution will not necessarily cover all your needs.
One example is within data matching, where I have found that the embedded solutions in MDM tools often only have limited capabilities. To solve this case, there are best of breed data matching solutions on the market able to supplement the MDM solutions.
Another example close to me is within multienterprise (business ecosystem wide) MDM, as MDM solutions are focused on each given organization. Here your interaction with a trading partner, and the interaction by the trading partner with you, can be streamlined with a solution like Product Data Lake.
