SAP Master Data Governance
Why is master data so important?
Inadequate master data costs companies a fortune every year. Frustrated users, incorrect system operation and incorrect reporting are the result.
Today's managers require correct data to support their decisions. Nearly 70% of managers experience errors or shortcomings in the data they use. The figures speak for themselves, there is still a long way to go. Quality in master data is a matter for all departments within an organization. Solid and correct master data can be seen as a competitive advantage.
If you experience the following needs:
Full monitoring and integration of your master data across the enterprise
Reduction of problems and identification of incorrect master data
Improve the accuracy and reliability of master data analysis
Gain more insight into your master data quality.
Then SAP Master Data Governace (MDG) might be a suitable tool for you. SAP MDG is a solid master data management SAP Add-on that can meet all these requirements.
What is SAP Master Data Governance?
SAP Master Data Governance is an advanced master data governance solution. It provides turnkey applications, with predefined data models, user interfaces, workflows and business rules. SAP Master Data Governance enables organizations to perform domain-specific master data governance by centrally creating, modifying, distributing or consolidating master data across the enterprise system landscape.
Main functions SAP MDG
Central Governance enables you to create and manage master data with centralized workflows that allow you to create, modify and validate master data based on business rules and the manual expertise of domain experts.
Consolidation enables identification of duplicates in decentralized master data and manages key-mapping information to obtain the best record for use in business processes and analysis. Mass processing is designed to efficiently and effectively manage large amounts of master data within the organization.
Data Quality Management (DQM) allows you to actively track and monitor the quality of your master data, and fix problems directly within the application to ensure your data is accurate and reliable.
Of course, MDG also provides extensive standard reporting across these components. This allows the ongoing processes to be managed and monitored from a KPI dashboard, including the ability to zoom in on any deviations.
