Master Data Management (MDM)

Without complete and accurate information about your customers, products, suppliers, or other entities, your business initiative is unsustainable.

An information management strategy for integrating, improving, and delivering information includes data integration, data quality, and master data management. These solutions work together to help you ensure the success of initiatives such as customer data integration, product information management, global spend analysis, mergers & acquisitions, as well as financial information management operations.

Business Objects, an SAP company, supports customers with their MDM deployments by providing data management functionality critical to the success of their program.


Essentials of an Information Management Solution

Let Business Objects, an SAP company, enhance your MDM initiative with:

    • Source data inspection and evaluation
    • Data loading and migration
    • Data cleansing, consolidation and matching
    • Metadata capture, storage, and reporting
    • Analysis and reporting of the master data

Features supporting an optimal MDM implementation

    • Integrate and deliver the most trusted and accurate data anywhere at any frequency with a data services architecture. Simplify your information infrastructure through a single development, administration, and metadata repository for both data quality and data integration activities.
    • Import data from multiple sources on a massive scale simultaneously with data integration and data federation functionality. Populate your MDM system in either real-time virtually or batch physically.
    • Ensure the data truly forms master records and not just multiple source copies by cleansing, matching and consolidating the master data while the data is being loaded, or even inside the system.
    • Provide end-to-end data lineage and impact analysis with comprehensive metadata management to support auditing and compliance rules, or when the executive team wants to know where the data came from and when.
    • Identify what data is actually in the source systems, what is fit to move, and what needs to be cleansed and how with data profiling. Data architects will get assistance in building a clean, useful, and business-friendly MDM system.
    • Deliver and display to the business user critical facts and insights on the master data through robust and sophisticated analytics and reporting capabilities to complete an MDM system.
