Since 2008 MDO has been operating as a SaaS product under the Prospecta master brand. This mix of services and products created ambiguity within our offerings and dilution of our purpose and ambitions.
Today there is no room for ambiguity and mixed messaging. ERP systems and data governance offerings are becoming more fluid and adaptive. The old is making way to the new and the new can’t stand still for long.
Our new MDO brand is all about progressive thinking, clean-cut and straightforward results. It represents our purpose of making data management and governance a flawless experience, free of hurdles and risks.
We are no longer a sub-brand or a solution for a specific problem. We are a single, united entity that drives data quality and governance forward.
We’re creating data culture.

As a rule of thumb the max width for email comms should be 600px.
