SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) Overview

What is SAP Master Data Governance (MDG)?

SAP® Master Data Governance is a specialized software solution designed to facilitate the management of master data across an organization. This application enables businesses to either decentralize the ownership of master data or centralize its creation, modification, and distribution. By providing a comprehensive framework for governance, SAP Master Data Governance ensures that data remains consistent, accurate, and accessible throughout the enterprise system landscape. Targeted primarily at organizations that require robust data management capabilities, SAP Master Data Governance is particularly beneficial for industries that rely heavily on accurate master data, such as finance, manufacturing, and retail. The application serves a diverse audience, including data stewards, IT professionals, and business analysts, who are tasked with maintaining data integrity and compliance. Specific use cases include the consolidation of customer, vendor, and product data, as well as the establishment of data quality standards that align with regulatory requirements. One of the key features of SAP Master Data Governance is its tight integration with other SAP solutions, allowing organizations to leverage existing data models, business logic, and validation frameworks. This integration streamlines data management processes and enhances collaboration between different departments by providing a unified view of master data. Furthermore, the application supports open integration with third-party products and services, ensuring that organizations can maintain a flexible and adaptable technology stack. The benefits of using SAP Master Data Governance extend beyond simple data management. By centralizing and standardizing master data, organizations can improve operational efficiency, reduce data redundancy, and enhance decision-making capabilities. The application also provides tools for data validation and quality checks, which help to minimize errors and ensure compliance with internal and external standards. Additionally, the ability to decentralize data ownership allows for greater agility, enabling teams to respond quickly to changing business needs while maintaining control over data governance. SAP Master Data Governance stands out as a comprehensive solution for organizations seeking to enhance their master data management practices. Its combination of centralized governance with decentralized ownership, along with seamless integration capabilities, positions it as a valuable asset for any enterprise aiming to optimize its data landscape and drive better business outcomes.

What do you like best about SAP Master Data Governance (MDG)?

As a developer, having worked on SAP MDG extension projects, the experience was seamless. However, I would say need better support online in terms of documentation. Most of the documentation was either too old or not well classified.

SAP MDG's integration with Business Rules Framework is a treat for many customers and functional consultants who want to apply business rules to their data without the hassle of code changes.

So is the MDG's rule based workflow. It really simplifies both the creation and maintenance of Business Workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SAP Master Data Governance (MDG)?

Having interacted with several customers the need for better Fiori screens for SAP MDG is the need of the hour. Not sure SAP is really keen on that. NWBC just doesnt cut it anymore.

The SAP MDG's configuration is a really time consuming and difficult process. Would really love a better set up process.

Also the online material available for SAP MDG although great is not always the best source of information out there. Would love to see and improvement there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering SAP Master Data Governance (MDG):

SAP MDG would add great value to any organisation especially in terms of simplifying Master Data Governance processes. The application of business rules is lot easier and convenient through SAP MDG's integration with BRF+. Apart from this if coupled with SAP's very own Master Data Consolidation and Master Data Quality, it really becomes the whole package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) solving and how is that benefiting you?

The whole governance framework in SAP MDG is really well built and easy to use and extend. A lot of problems are solved and a lot of time is saved there.

What do you dislike about SAP Master Data Governance (MDG)?

I have been using data governance from last 1 year and I would say I don't like that MDG is not very friendly from development point of view, when we link ECC and MDG, there are many things that are not supported. For eg. I came across a situation recently when a field in ECC (recon account ready for input) was automatically getting unchecked as It was not in MDG UI and idoc had it. So, we had to face a lot of issue in developing such things which should have been inbulit . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
