SAP Master Data Governance usefulness for our company
We are using SAP Master Data Governance as the single source of master data to manage other SAP systems--S4 Hana and BW. Our problem is the volume and keeping its master data in sync with another system.
- It has a workflow to approve for master data
- It gives management the ability to oversee its data for control and process efficiency
- With SAP Master Data Governance, we would like the ability to report more dynamically for users to choose the data element for its reporting

- Proper validation
- Continue to improve user interface experience
- Sometimes configuration is hard to locate
- Performance could be a concern when running a large amount of data

SAP for educational planning in higher education context to answer almost all questions except the one in the midterm
This software is used throughout the university. Educational departments use it for student, attendance, course management and the students use the software to follow the courses. There are other units such as finance department, Human Resources and IT who use the program to follow employee payments, official leaves, office/building/room reservations and communication. All official decisions, meeting notes and documents are completed and delivered using the system.
- Financial records.
- Students records and course management.
- Institution wide communication services.
- Human resources.
- Difficult to manage all the features without necessary training.
- Complicated interface.
- Need for a strong internet connection.

Data governance for the SAP heavy enterprise
In 2014 our company decided we needed to modernize our master data governance approach. Part of this included moving to a technology platform that could enable us to implement intelligent automation and very clear global governance. SAP MDG is used throughout the entire company in more than 100 countries and is used for many types of master data objects from finance objects, to suppliers, to customers, and even including materials. Specifically SAP MDG has helped our company standardize our master data workflows thus simplifying our governance model while at the same time automatically catering for local legal differences. It also has enabled us to increase our data quality while at the same time use less resources (both technical as well as business resources). Finally, SAP MDG has enabled us to properly measure our data quality which is an important capability to successfully execute any governance program.
- SAP MDG is a powerful platform that enables implementation of advance master data automation such as field auto derivation.
- Like SAP ECC, MDG performs very well throughout all sites around the world.
- SAP MDG comes equipped with the standard ECC or S/4Hana data models. This greatly simplifies rollout of the governance platform.
- As with all powerful and complex information platforms, SAP MDG does have a learning curve to it, especially if you plan on doing advanced things such as implementing MDM automation.
- SAP MDG is capable of replicating data across many platforms (including non-SAP) however, this too, has a learning curve to it and will require some work. Bottom line...it doesn't just happen out of the box!
- SAP MDG's flexibility can also be a weakness as sometimes you just want to implement a standard governance flow without defining everything from scratch. We have found that usually, you will need to define each workflow yourself in order for it to work properly.

It's All About Data with SAP Master Data Governance
It is used by one department, but the organization is planning to use it across all departments. It's an enterprise-wide master data management application that is used to govern master data for business partners, products, etc. Constantly monitors the quality of master data and improves it.
- One place for the whole company to look for master data info
- Keeps track of missing attributes and provides reporting on data quality
- Process analytics
- Consolidates data to use best-matched records
- If it's not managed properly, the same data could be placed in different places.
- Hard to integrate with non-SAP systems
- Hard to customize

SAP Master Data Governance review
We don't currently use SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) but we are in discussions to implement it to simplify the master data management. As we work in a retail company, we have to manage hundreds of thousands of products each season. Currently, creating and updating this master data takes too much time to maintain so we need a tool to simplify and speed up the product update process.
- Consolidates all master data in one single place
- Simplify the product data management
- Keep track of missing attributes and provides reporting on data quality
- Hard to customize
- Hard to integrate with non-SAP systems
