Decisions for SAP solutions: active data governance

⇨ Active data governance proactively manages data, integrating governance principles into daily workflows to anticipate and address potential challenges before they impact operations.

⇨ Implementing active data governance can reduce risks associated with inaccurate data, leading to cost savings, increased effectiveness of data stewards, and improved decision-making through reliable reporting.

⇨ The Decisions for SAP Solutions platform facilitates active data governance by allowing organizations to manage SAP master data independently, optimizing workflows with a user-friendly interface and enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Active data governance is a proactive approach to managing and utilizing data within an organization. It integrates governance principles into employees’ daily workflows, moving beyond simply setting policies and procedures. Unlike passive methods, which only respond to issues when they occur, active data governance anticipates and addresses potential data challenges before they impact operations. 

By implementing active data governance, organizations can reduce the risks associated with inaccurate data, leading to cost savings and increased effectiveness of data stewards. This approach also ensures more reliable reporting, supporting better decision-making across the organization. 

Configurable Management, a company that delivers process-based solutions for SAP solutions, helps organizations adopt active data governance without the burden of adding a new SAP module. Active data governance ensures that data entered into SAP master data objects—such as Customer Master, Material Master, and Vendor Master—adheres to the organization’s data standards and business rules. 

Through the Decisions for SAP Solutions platform, active data governance integrates seamlessly with SAP while operating independently, allowing Master Data-related reporting and updates without the constraints of SAP’s change transport system. This independence enables greater organizational agility and keeps the SAP core system clean, simplifying technical upgrades and migrations, such as from ECC to S4/HANA. 

Decisions for SAP Solutions provides a drag-and-drop interface and over 4,000 pre-built “steps,” allowing organizations to build form and workflow solutions without coding. The platform also allows participants from outside the company to initiate or collaborate on workflows. Its use of SAP’s Net Connector ensures adherence to SAP’s authorization protocols without requiring additional SAP installations. 

The platform’s features include a workflow engine, business rules engine, forms designer, configurable dashboards and reports, flexible deployment options, integrations, modules, visual data mapping tools and a developer SDK. These tools are designed to optimize workflows, enhance productivity and drive future growth. 

By leveraging a solution built for active data governance, organizations can streamline processes, improve operational efficiency and set the stage for sustained success.
