Accounts Payable Analyst Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Complicated but also Easy" September 28, 2020 5.0 During my project assessment, as a team, we integrated SAP Master Data Governance with another software which was specially designed for the company needs. Clerks were entering some data to the company software and at the beginning of the next day, both of the softwares were integrating and moving the data to SAP Master Data Governance. As a contrary, the project went alive well, tests were successful and the data moving were done in a perfect way. It realized that SAP Master Data Governance worked fine with integration and I can say that it will work well with other softwares. Pros I can recommend SAP Master Data Governance to large companies. They can use the software for single use or even for daily use. After getting the data consolidated, it becomes very easy and visible to see what you have in hand. Cons Duplication check feature is good but this needs to be improved, it sometimes cannot catch the duplicated data and the searching criteria for duplication cannot be changed manually...

So the benefit is that it's all encompassing for collecting whatever the company is doing on a daily basis. Pros SAP is amazing for storing pricing,weights dimensions, official names Commodities and materials purchased 4 / Novation. I also love how I can exported into an Excel document and data mine and extract and run pivot tables from what I retrieve. There so many different reports to run and ways to manipulate and extract what you need out of SAP. Just love it. Cons This definitely crashes after the afternoon rush. This database takes up a lot of space. Definitely can affect our productivity in a workday. Review Source CL Cynthia L.

But I think it's a hard concept for our users to grasp. MDG allows you to set up different workflows for different data code blocks to be centrally managed but it get confusing for our end users. We have 3 different code blocks currently managed through MDG and due to the way our approver workflows are set up, we have over 20 different roles. MDG is great in that it serves its purpose as being the governance tool at this company, but there are issues regarding what SAP attributes are supported through MDG and what aren't. As of right now, it's tough to have MDG manage everything so there are after-market tasks that are required after most changes. Replication to certain systems are also not automated and must be manually done. This could be a result of the way our company implemented MDG and our company's agenda to make the system conform to our ways. I think overall, MDG is effective and useful, but ultimately that usefulness and effectiveness comes down to the users. Pros it's a centralized tool that works across all SAP systems Cons too much personalization could cause this system to lose it's main benefits. Review Source LN Linda N.

Pros Master data governance plays a vital role in coming years, very few know the importance of this MDG, for every industry required master data for their companies,MDG hit the market coming 2\_3 years. Cons For now there is no issues, but most of people they don't know the importance of this. Review Source SE Saran E.

Review Source JQ Javid Q. Used the software for: ### "SAP Master Data Governance" December 15, 2016 5.0 Master data management (MDM) is a comprehensive method of enabling an enterprise to link all of its critical data to one file, called a master file, that provides a common point of reference. When properly done, MDM streamlines data sharing among personnel and departments. In addition, MDM can facilitate computing in multiple system architectures, platforms, and applications. Controlled collection and execution of all master data requests throughout the organization Simple-to-use web application as an entry point for any master data request. Integrated approval routines align with established business processes Improved visibility with a single point of processing and a full overview of requests. The simplified procedure reduces processing time and activities required for master data updates. Runs inside SAP with SAP GUI or web browser interface Improves compliance management for master data handling.
