'''Bulldog''' is the [[code name]] for 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. Currently, packaging or pricing is still undecided. A [[Community Technology Preview|CTP]] of the software is planned to be released in the third quarter 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"/>
