Yamaha Motor Co. , Ltd. (Yamaha Motor) has implemented Informatica’s master data management (MDM) solution as part of its management infrastructure reforms through digital transformation (DX). This announcement was made by Informatica Japan. ヤマハ発動機 is promoting a DX strategy to transform its business to utilize IT, digital technology, and data, strengthening its business competitiveness, improving brand value, and creating “lifelong Yamaha fans.” Until now, the company had used different systems at each location and business, resulting in siloed management of master information items and methods for each system. The systems were also tightly coupled, posing a risk that changes to one system would affect other systems, hindering the acceleration of business speed.
To address these issues, the company implemented a global enterprise resource planning (ERP) system with the aim of standardizing management items and loosening system coupling. In the process, new challenges arose, including global centralization of master data, maintaining golden record management and accuracy, and distributing data to each location’s ERP and other business systems. The company therefore determined that it needed a system that would enable rapid improvement in the accuracy of master information, streamline distribution, and enable centralized global management with flexible deployment at each location. In particular, smooth integration with the industry’s leading ERP system, as well as flexible connectivity with its own systems developed from scratch , were key requirements. Based on these considerations, the company selected Informatica’s SaaS-based MDM solution. The Informatica CLAIRE AI engine streamlines, centralizes, and automates data assets across domains and departments, ensuring comprehensive, contextual, and 360-degree visibility. The solution can be rapidly implemented, enabling the rapid launch of MDM functions, improved accuracy through cleansing and data quality checks, and streamlined distribution through integrated ETL (extract, transform, and output) data.

Toyoto Ono, head of the company’s IT division, said of the implementation, “We are building an interface infrastructure that manages highly reliable master data globally and flexibly connects ERP systems in each region and our own proprietary scratch system. This infrastructure will contribute to more advanced and faster management decision-making, forecasting, and management reporting, and will also improve productivity and reduce costs through the rapid implementation and maintenance of ERP. We believe this is an important step in establishing a foundation that supports the speed of business growth and in building an organization that is resilient to change.”
