    The Informatics vision is already determined and with the relationships already configured, or that plasters any new type of vision or relationship between the Assets. As a result, a pedigree diagram is poor and limited with the availability of information on the screen or in reports for consultation and decision making. It has an approval and maintenance workflow that is also limited to assets already made available only by Informática. It will not be possible to see the connection of a technical, functional, and documentary line in a single flow. It allows the registration of all data referring to a DPIA and LIA, but it does not generate a report that allows the aggregation of this set of information in a single place. The tool makes information available to support a decision regarding the DPIA and LIA, but it does not make it available in a unified way as in a report.

    The best use case of SAP Master Data Governance is centrally consolidating your organizational data so you can make sense of it and make business decisions using that data. We live in a world where data can be all over the place, and making sense of it is a skill of its own.

    Fairly easy to set up and get started even in large enterprises with the help of the configuration tools that come with the product. Also, the workflow engine can be defined with relative ease and monitored. Perhaps this product works very well in an SAP environment as it can be integrated with other SAP products

    • We've had to design our own unique or alternative solutions to satisfy our business objectives because plugins don't always perform well with the main product.
    • It can be sluggish at times and lacks functionality offered by rival MDM packages, as well as limited resources and documentation for certain areas such as hierarchy.

    MDG has proven to work and to bring results once implemented with the right approach, right engagement and sponsorship. Given that it is a very good tool to govern and control master data. Mainly if your company runs SAP systems which there will be a very straight forward integration, not needing any additional middleware or technologies.

    SAP provides great support for Master Data Governance (MDG). They work with us when we are faced with issues in standard solutions. SAP has a great set of Fiori tools that can be used for a better user experience. The issue with SAP is their web dynpro UI screens and they need to provide better support for performance issues that customers face.

    IBM Infosphere was considered but was much more expensive and also perhaps would have taken more time for initial setup. SAP MDM was selected because we found it easier to work with other SAP products and its ability to integrate well within the overall larger SAP environment and was also easier to configure.

    • MDG is definitely an investment that takes a few years to recuperate. (If you are looking at pure, direct financial benefits.)
    • However, if you look at all the productivity gains in the business due to not having to stop the business constantly because of data issues, the payback period would be substantially shorter.
    • In particular, we were able to reduce master data maintenance staffing levels while increasing quality and decreasing workload for business requesters and approvers.
    • Not having to worry about data integrity issues has shortened the time to realize benefits for several of our major process change related projects and it has also decreased the risk of these projects running into significant delays (often at the last minute) due to master data being misjudged during the process resdesign.
