SAP MDG: Implementation and Functions

SAP MDG takes a dominant position for the use and management of master data, but at the same time it is very easy to implement in existing systems. An implementation is also possible in non-SAP systems and can be supported by WAN SAP WORKS AS PER THE BUSINESS REQUIREMENT

Central functions:

Benefit from the advantages of SAP MDG

Anyone who deals with master data in a company knows the importance of this data and the situation that arises when master data is not under the sovereignty of a central office. Due to different views, processing statuses or focal points of interest, decentrally maintained data will not be congruent and will require a great deal of coordination effort for harmonization.

Advantages at a glance

Data records are stored centrally and can be retrieved up to date. There is no need for a work order to deliver data and harmonization of pre-planned activities between different work areas. Business processes are accelerated as a result. Unpredictability caused by master data that is not up-to-date or not harmonized does not continue to occur.

Changes in business direction can be made without being hindered by cumbersome handling of master data.

Master data can be consolidated from SAP systems, from non-SAP systems, from on-premise and from the cloud into a single dominant master data set. This creates order. This enables fast reactions in the market – even unforeseen ones.

Master data records form the reference data set for the entire company through SAP MDG. Data can be made viewable and retrievable for employees with access authorization and can be maintained if roles are assigned accordingly. Thus, up-to-date reference data sets are ready for retrieval in the company.
