Centralize your data with any S/4HANA transition.
Whether you are staying on ECC or migrating to S/4HANA now or in the near future, it’s important to set your data governance strategy to ensure a seamless transition. For either greenfield or brownfield S/4HANA implementations, once the data is initially migrated, the need to keep the data clean and consistent is stronger than ever, especially for customer and vendor data. Our SAP consulting team is ready to partner with you.
Solutions
Our team of SAP MDG consultants combine both business and technical expertise to enable efficient, secure, and clean enterprise data. We work together to tailor a solution for your business that drives the most value.
SAP MDG Quick Maturity Level Assessment
This quick assessment measures the current maturity level of master data governance in your organization and offers recommendations on the best way to implement SAP MDG. After reviewing the assessment, we can partner with you to determine how and when to continue with an implementation.
- Analyzing business area pain points (procurement, finance, sales, manufacturing, etc.)
- Internal and external audits
- Requirements gathering
SAP MDG Design Session and Roadmap
MDG is usually confused to be a technical-only initiative; however, it should include several design areas (see below). At the end of the design phase an MDG strategy document is produced
- Systems architecture
- Technical solution (tailored for your governance maturity level)
- Data business processes
- Data cleansing, retention, retirement, and quality
- Recommended steps for your MDG implementation (Roadmap)
- KPI development
SAP MDG Implementation
Clean, complete, consistent, and well-managed data is at the core of any business process and can enable strategic investments. Our implementation methodology brings best practice accelerators via direct experience to enable a successful strategy that’s aligned to your business’ overall strategy. We ensure a successful implementation that encompasses areas such as:
- Governance approach (centralized or federated)
- Additional data operations (ie. consolidation, integration, compliance, data quality, etc.)
- Systems integration for the governance model
- Clear business data processes (workflows)
- Cutover and deployment
SAP MDG Adoption
Operationalizing your MDG investment requires coordination across multiple areas of the business. We offer services to ensure adoption and optimization with your people.
- User readiness
- Organizational alignment
- Testing and training
- Change management
SAP MDG Monitoring
It is important to keep monitoring how MDG is helping the business areas. If you defined metrics and ROI on your MDG implementation those need to be measured. Adjustment of MDG procedures may be needed and roadmap items will be considered accordingly.

- Data consistency
- Compliance
- Reporting
- Analytics
- Testing
