SAP MASTER DATA GOVERNANCE
SAP’s Master Data Governance (MDG) solution offers you support in cross-board generation and management of consistent master data along your entire value chain. It delivers transparent and replicable information on changes in master data, rapid release processes and automatic, system-wide distribution.
Harmonize IT and Business Concerns
The goal of integrated master data management is to harmonize IT and business concerns. This creates a foundation for future projects, improves data quality and, in the long term enhances your decision-making basis and thereby achieves indirect cost-saving benefits.
This approach not only serves to automate individual process steps or business processes – the right end2end strategy also lets you combine master data management with effective process management.
The SAP Master Data Governance solution was created specifically with this purpose in mind, and it is highly integrated with the SAP Business Suite. SAP MDG can be combined with process management components including rule-based workflow management using the Business Rule Framework (BRF+).
