Master Data Governance – Improving Business Outcomes With SAP MDG

SAP MDG is a hot topic in the SAP community and our friends over at Clarkston Consulting recently put out a great insight highlighting the many benefits of this powerful solution. We have summarized the key takeaways from that article below, but encourage you to check out the full article here when you have time.

SAP MDG – what is it?

SAP MDG is a solution designed to fit seamlessly into your SAP environment to tackle challenges with data management. This powerful tool allows you to address needs across the full lifecycle of data governance, all in a centralized location. The SAP MDG solution is compatible with legacy ECC environments, as well as optimized for S/4 HANA. Additionally, it can be used as an add-on tool in non-SAP environments and can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud, whichever platform best suites the needs of your organization.

Capabilities & Benefits:

One of the greatest benefits of the SAP MDG solution is its out of the box functionality. This solution provides exceptional capabilities in tackling the most common organizational master data issues relating to customers, materials, suppliers, financial objects, and asset objects to include equipment master and bill of material. Furthermore, the solution provides a scalable framework in which it is easy to add other master data objects and additional customization for your organization.

This solution significantly improves data quality, integrity, workflow, and flexibility and is presented in a malleable framework that excels in both centralized and federated data governance models. In addition, SAP MDG allows for standard and customized workflows to be seamlessly integrated into the solution so that maintenance processes can be precisely controlled and workflow models can be accurately tracked. No matter what/where your pain points are, SAP MDG can help to alleviate challenges associated with data management and ensure that the organization is on a solid footing and has high quality/high integrity data to work off of.

The true value in the SAP MDG solution lies in its ability to improve business outcomes through heightened data quality, integrity, and security. Enhancements in these areas allow organizations to improve decision making, accelerate opportunity identification, and more accurately address regulatory requirements. All of which significantly impact the organizations ability to provide better products and services to consumers, which in turn increases ROI and shortens the payback period.
