In a time when organizations increasingly depend on data for every aspect of their business, it is highly important to establish procedures and systems that will attend to the creation, quality, handling, and security of that data. This is where data governance comes in – especially for SAP systems where it plays a key part in compliance.

By definition, governance of enterprise data encompasses the policies and procedures that are implemented to ensure an organization’s data is accurate and then handled properly while being input, stored, manipulated, accessed, and deleted. Data governance responsibilities include establishing the infrastructure and technology, setting up and maintaining the processes and policies, and identifying the individuals (or positions) within an organization that have both the authority and responsibility for handling and safeguarding specific types of data.

However, with all the complexities of digital transformation, especially in the age of cloud migration, many companies may feel that they need a support system that is going to help them establish the best data governance processes.

Enter Configurable Management and its Decisions for SAP solutions platform. As part of its mission to support SAP users in their modernization efforts, Configurable Management developed the Active Data Governance feature. The tool aims to make companies’ data stewards more effective and productive, eliminate large teams of error-prone data entry analysts and make better decisions with reliable reporting.

The particular benefit that SAP users can extract from the deployment of Active Data Governance is a centralized system in which data can be entered correctly the first time, actively monitored and approved where required. When data falls out of conformance, Active Data Governance can automatically remediate or generate assignments for the correct employees when human-in-the-loop is required.

Through leveraging services like Configurable Management’s Decisions for SAP solutions platform, companies can ensure effective, reliable and efficient use of automated data governance. This way, not only can SAP users enjoy agile control of their data, but also maintain their SAP core clean and enable easier technical upgrades as well as ECC-to-S4/HANA migrations.
