Efficient master data management with SAP MDG cloud-ready mode

Reliable master data is of crucial importance on the way to becoming a data-driven company. It enables precise analyses, optimizes business processes and creates a solid basis for well-founded decisions. This results in improved efficiency, increased customer satisfaction and enhanced competitiveness. The use of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) ensures that master data remains up-to-date, complete and consistent.

SAP MDG cloud-ready mode is a new development stage of the previous SAP MDG (also known as “SAP MDG classic mode”), with which applications and processes in master data management can be configured, expanded and adapted. SAP MDG cloud-ready mode is currently available for the data domain Business Partner and will also be available for material master data in the future.

Predefined cloud services can be integrated into SAP MDG cloud-ready mode. These include SAP Build Process Automation for defining and visualizing workflows, SAP Document Management Services for attaching documents to processes and SAP Data Quality Management as well as microservices for location data for validating and enriching addresses.

In addition, SAP MDG cloud-ready mode offers predefined integration with external data providers to create and expand business partners in the system using a lookup from a qualified reference database. A consistent user interface based on SAP Fiori enables user-friendly navigation across the individual application components Central Governance, Consolidation & Mass Processing and Data Quality Management.

SAP MDG cloud-ready mode supports companies in automating business processes and ensuring efficient master data management. In addition, the use of SAP MDG cloud-ready mode ensures that companies make the move to the cloud smoothly and benefit sustainably from a clean SAP S/4HANA core system (clean core) and innovations.

SAP MDG cloud-ready mode is tailored to companies that need or want to establish fast, scalable and flexible master data management. The solution is particularly suitable for organizations that are currently planning to move to the cloud and want to operate in the cloud in the medium or long term. Companies that already work entirely in the cloud or use a hybrid environment and attach great importance to continuous innovation, simple integration with other SAP cloud solutions and low operating costs will also benefit.

If your company has dynamic business requirements and wants to optimize IT costs while ensuring high data quality, you should opt for SAP MDG cloud-ready mode.
