Looking for a solution?

A single source of truth is the agreed authoritative source for a defined data item or business record. It helps teams know which value to rely on—for example, the approved product definition or equipment identifier. It does not have to be one physical database: multiple systems can exchange data while ownership and update rules remain clear.
