Master data is the DNA of the enterprise Enterprise MDM must cross the chasm of multiple domains and co-existent scenarios for creation and high volume consolidation of master data Under Central Governance SaaS Distributed Creation Customer CRM Distributed Creation Customer Business Networks Distributed Creation Vendor, Supplier Not Under Central Governance Information Provider High Volume Consolidation Multiple Domains EMDM High Volume Consolidation Multi-domain Analytics Central Creation Multiple Domains Consolidation Multiple Domains Central Creation Multiple Domains SAP ERP Non-SAP ERP SAP ERP Non-SAP ERP Planned innovations 13
Two basic models of governance Central Create Consolidate Time 14
NW MDM is rooted in a consolidation approach Central Create Consolidate NW MDM Time 15
BPM was later leveraged for central creation as the market evolved Central Create Consolidate NW MDM BPM NW MDM Time 16
Customer feedback called for an application vs. tool which was the genesis of MDG Tool Application Central Create BPM MDG Consolidate NW MDM NW MDM Time 17
MDG is evolving to include consolidation (MDG, enterprise edition) Central Create Consolidate NW MDM BPM NW MDM MDG MDGee (planned) MDG HANA MDS Time 18
EMDM Roadmap Continuous support and enhancements in line with Customer Connection program Just released SP10 Continued innovation of SAP MDG for central creation stand-alone use case on any DB Combined solution for creation and consolidation (initial release for customer domain and subsequent domains planned) Central Create Consolidate NW MDM BPM NW MDM MDG MDGee (planned) MDG HANA MDS 19
