Master Data Services provides a [[Web service]] interface to expose the data, as well as an [[API]], which internally uses the exposed web services, exposing the feature set, programmatically, to access and manipulate the data. It also integrates with [[Active Directory]] for authentication purposes. Unlike +EDM, Master Data Services supports [[Unicode]] characters, as well as support multilingual user interfaces.{{cn|date=January 2015}}
