SAP Master Data Governance
Consistent high-quality master data for your entire organization

SAP Master Data Governance is a state-of-the-art master data management application, providing preconfigured,
domain-specific master data governance to monitor and correct potential data quality issues, to centrally create, change,
and distribute, or to consolidate master data across your complete enterprise system landscape.

Central governance or consolidation for consistent master data

▪ Enables centralized governance, compliance, and transparency of master data during
creation and change through integrated staging, approval, and central audit trail
▪ Delivers consistent definition, authorization, and replication of key master data entities
▪ Eliminates error-prone manual maintenance processes for master data in multiple systems
▪ Supports consolidation of decentralized master data in any enterprise system landscape to
create best records and key mapping between duplicates
▪ Optionally combines consolidation with central governance for sustained master data quality

Quality Management
▪ Define master data quality rules, striving for consistent usage across all points of data entry,
and enabling data quality monitoring, analysis and remediation
▪ Observe and investigate master data management process quality to enable optimization

Integration and reuse

▪ Native integration and openness to integrate 3rd-party services
▪ Reuse of SAP’s data models, existing business logic, and configuration for data validation
▪ Open application to manage your own master data flexibly also for non-SAP environments
