'''Microsoft Codename "Bulldog"''' is an upcoming [[Master Data Management]] (MDM) product from [[Microsoft]], which will ship as a part of the future revision of the [[Microsoft Office]] suite, installing either as a standalone application or as a part of [[Microsoft Office SharePoint Server]] installations.<ref name="roadmap">{{cite web | url = http://www.stratature.com/portals/0/MSMDMRoadmap.pdf | title = Microsoft Master Data Management Roadmap | publisher = Microsoft | accessdate = 2007-09-25}}</ref> "Bulldog" is the rebranding of the [[Special:Search/Stratature|Stratature]] MDM product titled '''+EDM''', which Microsoft acquired in June 2007. "Bulldog" will be architecturally similar to +EDM, with increased integration with other Microsoft applications as well as some new features.<ref name="roadmap"/>

"Bulldog" is planned to be made available with the next release of [[Microsoft Office]] suite. Currenly, packaging or pricing is still undecided. A [[CTP]] of the software is planned to be released in the third quarted of 2008. However, a technological preview is planned for release in February 2008. That release will be virtually identical to the Stratature release of +EDM, without any of the features added by Microsoft.<ref name="roadmap"/>
