From Data Chaos to Digital Trust: Master Data Management for the Digital Twin Era
Today’s compliance, ESG and asset strategies rely on data—but in most organizations, that data remains siloed, duplicated or unverifiable. At Crysp, we’ve spent years helping clients clean up, connect and govern what matters most. And now, with the formation of the EDM Association—the newly merged global standards authority combining OMG and the EDM Council—the data landscape is evolving again.
Crysp is fully aligned with this transformation. Our master data management (MDM) platform integrates governance, interoperability and trust from the ground up—backed by frameworks from the EDM Association, and verified in the Digital Twin Consortium testbed.
1. 🔗 A New Era of End-to-End Data Standards
The EDM Association is the world’s first global non-profit trade body combining data, software, systems, knowledge engineering and open standards under one roof.
By bringing together:
OMG’s technical heritage, ISO-standardization pathways and neutral working groups, and
EDM Council’s governance leadership and frameworks like DCAM® and the ESG Playbook,
… the EDM Association is now the single authority for organizations building AI-ready, interoperable, standards-based data ecosystems.
2. 🚀 What This Means for Crysp Clients
Crysp has been preparing for this moment—our digital twin platform and data models are:
✅ Aligned to EDM DCAM® and OMG ontologies
✅ Compliant with the ESG Data Playbook
✅ Verified in the Digital Twin Consortium (DTC) assurance testbed
✅ Designed to support AI-readiness, traceability, and zero-trust architectures
We offer a unified master data layer that directly supports:
Facilities and Asset Management
ESG reporting
Cybersecurity and liability assurance
Regulatory compliance and real-time evidence generation
3. 🧠 The Eight Dimensions of Trusted MDM

4. 🔬 Leadership in Practice:
Crysp isn’t just implementing global data standards—we’re helping define them.
Sian Purver, Crysp’s Sustainability and Operations Lead, co-chairs the Sustainability Working Group at the Digital Twin Consortium, contributing ESG benchmarks and real-world frameworks.
Dr. David McKee, Crysp CTO and lead architect of the DTC’s compliance testbed, is guiding the technical roadmap for verifiable digital twins with integrated master data and assurance loops.
Together, they help ensure the Crysp platform isn’t just compliant—it’s contributory, advancing the best practices adopted by regulators, insurers, and global infrastructure owners.
5. 🌍 Interoperability for the Future
With the OMG–EDMC merger, emerging data standards can now move seamlessly from industry to ISO adoption. Crysp is proud to support this process via our contribution to:
Digital twin standardization
Assured compliance threads
Enterprise metadata models for health, education and infrastructure
As new communities of practice emerge—through the Digital Twin Consortium, AREA, CISQ, and more—Crysp is uniquely positioned to offer customers the best of both worlds: industry-proven software and standards-aligned governance.
