SAP MDM: Master Data Management for a Trusted Single Source of Truth
SAP MDM (Master Data Management) helps organizations maintain consistent, accurate, and complete master data across their SAP landscape. SAPinsider covers how SAP MDM and SAP Master Data Governance work together to deliver centralized data creation, validation, and governance for customers, vendors, materials, and financial data across SAP and non-SAP systems.
What Is SAP MDM?
SAP MDM, or SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management, is an enterprise solution for consolidating and harmonizing master data across distributed systems. It provides tools for data modeling, workflow-based approval, and automated synchronization to ensure that all business units work from a consistent data foundation. SAP Master Data Governance (MDG), built on SAP BTP, extends these capabilities with cloud deployment options, pre-built business rules, and integration with SAP S/4HANA.
