Cleanse & Monitor is about creating a rock-solid firewall of quality-ensuring disciplines around all enterprise data for any use. Data Management is related to the governance topic and the ways in which we can help our customers centrally govern thelr master data, Important to know here is that SAP, through our solutions and partnership with Utopia is the only vendor that can sync and govern master data and its digital twins among other systems of record in your customer base that run SAP EAM or Plant Maintenance. This a key differentiator among the competition, Profiling data across the enterprise is essential to success. Tools for the a company's data stewards that own the success of certain data domains must ensure they have a finger on the pulse on that data and can understand the various paths it assumes in its lifespan in the organization. Archiving is the discipline of effectively managing the lifecycle of information from birth to retirement across the enterprise. Understanding all the aspects of a company's data documenting the enterprise architecture, and providing the a level of confidence in the data helps organizations make the best decisions with respect to their data assets. {And so now, we see the industry leading information excellence portfolio from SAP.

Business drivers are, for example: Company identifies data quality as a pain point. Company runs a process efficiency initiative. Company plans a strategic business transformation initiative. Company targets a strategic IT initiative. Alllines of business are impacted by poor master data quality: cro cio Inconsistent financial master data across the enterprise Manual efforts to update financial master data in local financial systems Risk of non-compliance to IFRS, SOX ete Slow group closes Lack of transpareney about changes (who, what, when, why) High master data maintenance costs, Need for multiple systems to manage master data in different domains Lack of flexibility in dynamic business environments, Sales/Marketing SVPS Lack of consistent consolidated view of customer data across all channels Customer transactions are compromised due toa limited view of the facts VP of Supply Chain/Planning, Lack of transparency relating to suppliers and products High costs due to insufficient supplier selection and rationalization Loss of potential for benefit realization (Le. discounts, conditions, central contracts) Limited availability of up-to-date master data in broad business network Roadmap for Enterprise Data Management ‘According to the level of awareness in companies that master data is a company asset, they can bulld an incremental roadmap for master data strategies to be implemented 1 Data Readiness: This means that a company understands what data assets they have and how they are being used. 2, Data Integration & Cleansing: This means that a company is already able to deliver trusted information repeatable and reliably atthe right form, to the right place at the right time (via running cleansing activities from time to time). 3. Data Consolidation: This means that a company is able to consolidate diverse master data landscapes and increase trust and reliability in information via ongoing de-duplication and best-record calculation and central storage of key mapping information. 4, Data Governance: This means that a company has the appropriate technology and processes that enable people to implement a repeatable process to manage the use, quality and lifecycle of information. Tre Enterprise Information Management (EIM) Precct Portfolio Dimensions of Master Data Management Applying master data management does not start with implementing a specitic software. First of all, companies need to be aware that master data is a company asset that needs to be protected, Companies need to determine which master data objects are relevant, how the corresponding models and initial data quality standards need to be. Then there needs to be an alignment on general maintenance and distribution processes, and only after that comes the question of how this can be achieved and supported with software, In the organization, there needs to be’ + Explicit ownership for data objects and processes. + Assigned responsibility for data objects and for processes. + Assigned responsibility for data quality + Defined communication and decision channels involving Business and IT. And above all, you need management involvement and sponsorship to back and fuel processes of Implementing a master data strategy.

Typical Approaches to Master Data Management lebemtnet upc fd eb padcn nen ‘Shetomsunderconteal governance a 2 #& £ Central Sovernarce ard Distribution /de-Central Ownership ard Corsokistion| In companies’ system landscapes we typical see two main patterns: + First, there are systems that are not under central governance, in which master data is created and maintained de-centrally. ‘+ And there are systems, that are under central governance, meaning that also master data is managed centrally. ‘SAP Master Data Governance covers both approaches: Central Governance Companies are seeking at master data consistency at the point of master data creation and change (proactive master data management): This means that you put specific master data under central governance which means that this master data is created or changed by a defined expert team who ‘complete the records ina staging area where business rules and validations along with the domain-expertise from subject matter experts are used to complete the data and make sure that itis consistent by the time of activation and replication to subscribing systems. Consolidation Is used to get master data clean in landscapes where master data 's managed de-centrally. This means that you identity duplicate master data spreading across de-central systems, create the golden record out of these, and manage the key mapping information (reactive master data management). In addition, Data Quality Management Is used in both approaches to continuously monitor your master data quality to achieve and keep high standards. This means that you define business rules, put these into operation and actively monitor the quality of your master data and seamlessly remediate records if needed ‘SAP Master Data Governance on SAP S/4HANA supports al typical approaches: central governance with distribution, decentralized ownership with consolidation, data quality monitoring with remediation.
