MDM FAQ:
The decision to implement SAP MDG is a strategic decision, which can be made at any time. Dependencies have to be considered, such as parallel running projects (e.g., S/4HANA).
Your S/4HANA journey is an important pillar in the decision making in terms of the Go-Live of your SAP MDG.
Based on your individual situation, we can recommend the perfect timing and deliver a tailor-made roadmap for your SAP MDG journey, which fits your needs.
- The scope and the number of your master data objects to be governed (Business Partner, Material, FiCo and/or your custom objects).
- The complexity of your system landscape and the associated interfaces
- MDG components to be used (Central Governance, Data Quality Management, Mass Processing & Consolidation)
- Level of automation to be implemented
- Quantity of required enhancements and enrichments (deviation from standard)
The scope of your SAP MDG implementation is a key factor of the implementation. In addition, it is important to consider the maturity of your current master data strategy. The timeline is strongly influenced by your requirements.
SAP MDG provides an out-of-the box and stable data replication mechanism to distribute the data to all your SAP and non-SAP systems. At cbs we do have our own business integration technology team (BIT), which ensures the right technology is used for every interface, even in the most complex system landscape.
