SAP Master Data Governance is a solution built on SAP Business Technology Platform.

Read this article on the improvements SAP has done in its Master data capabilities – An Introduction to SAP Master Data Governance.
Key elements of the solution include:
- Centralized creation and maintenance of master data – Companies can ensure governance at the point of authorship and avoid duplication, invalid edits, and non-compliance
- Automated workflows – Standardized and customizable, these automated workflows ensure the right people audit, approve, and manage the master data at the right time
- Compliance and audit support – Maintaining version control and change history improves transparency and helps ensure compliance
- Security and access – Role-based access and device specific setup helps to enforce security and yet, provide the right people with access.
SAP Master Data Governance also comes pre-built with the most common domains for SAP – Customer, Supplier, Material, Financials, Retail, and Technical assets. It also a rich set of domains that customers can implement such as country code, tax code, order type, bank code, currency code, department, channel, activity type, document type, etc.
With SAP Master Data Governance, companies can also implement and manage a federated master data (instead of a centralized one) where different teams own different domains. The central system manages the core while syndicating specific domains to other systems. This model provides flexibility to regional office or product units, while also ensuring central compliance and a single source of truth.
SAP Master Data Governance’s cloud edition goes further by providing a hub-and-spoke federation that can slowly help an organization migrate to a federated approach.
Overall, SAP’s MDM solution meets the goals of data strategy, a critical strength as companies’ data growth explodes.
