� Tight integration into SAP Business Logic

� Applications support central maintenance and data governance processes end-to-end

� Client systems are integrated via various channels (such as SOA , ALE, RFC, File) and provide local enrichment functionality

� MDG applications leverage standard AS ABAP

� Integrate data services for cleansing, matching & consolidation (such as provided by SBOP)

Master Data Governance Building Blocks of MDG Framework

� SAP delivering a model for master data objects as a template for customer modifications

� MDG Framework providing flexible modeling capabilities for customer defined Master Data objects

� MDG Framework providing Primary persistence as well as Staging area

Flexibility Option� SAP delivering a model for master data objects

including an implementation reusing the existing master data implementation for Primary persistence

� SAP delivered model can be enhanced (new fields, new tables) but not modified by customer

� MDG Framework providing Staging area and a switch for Primary persistence

Reuse Option

Master Data GovernanceOptional Components

MDG Applications are designed to run stand-alone in an ABAP stack.

Extend functional capabilities of MDG by optional components

• SAP NetWeaver MDM: Consolidation capabilities

• Enterprise Search (TREX): Search and Duplicate Check (mandatory for Material)

• SAP Business Objects Data Quality Management: Duplicate Check & Address Validation

• SAP Business Objects analytical dashboards: Alternative UIs (instead of standard ALV lists)

• SAP Business Objects analytical dashboards: Alternative UIs (instead of standard ALV lists)

• SAP NetWeaver PI: Third-Party integration or complex system landscape management

• SAP Portal (optional SAP NetWeaver Business Client)

• Adobe Document Server for print forms and interactive forms (Internal Service Requests)

Customers typically choose to

…create a dedicated master data hub and distribute to all operative systems from there

…identify one of their SAP ERP’s as the master for a particular domain, create and distribute

master data from there

…co-deploy with their single instance SAP ERP
