A method for preventing proliferation of duplicative master data in a master data server, the method comprising: receiving data from a first client computer system at a master data server, the master data server including a data store for master data used by the first client computer system and a second client computer system; running preliminary tests to determine whether the data received from the first client computer system are duplicative of a portion of the master data stored in the data store; storing the received data in the data store as master data and distributing the received data to the second client computer system if the preliminary tests do not determine that the received data are duplicative of a portion of the master data stored in the data store; and running additional tests after distribution of the received data to the second client computer system to determine whether the data received from the first client computer system are duplicative of a portion of the master data stored in the data store.
