Hosted by Master Data Management l The Universal Data Model: Repository of Master Data Definitions l Harmonize All the Data Sources: One Version of the Truth l Long Term Ambitions vs. Short Term Deliverables
Hosted by MDM Long Term Vision l One Version of the Truth • Single Source for All Data: SAP and non-SAP • Single Administrative Site for All Data Management • Repository of Master Data Objects That Define Specific Business Practices: Business-Specific Units of Measure l Connect Heterogeneous Environments • Linking Applications, Maintaining Consistent Data Among Different Data Sources/Applications l Control Corporate Data • Central Management and Process Control For All Systems (Internal and External)
Hosted by MDM Short Term Vision l Synchronize Data in SAP Environments First, Ensure Data Quality l Multi-instance, Multi-revision Environments l Limited Work with Customers for Vertical “Universal Data Models” l Version 1. 0 Data Models: Product, Business Partner (Customer, Vendor, Supplier), Organizations Structure, BOM

Hosted by MDM Components l Master Data Objects: Define the Business Objects • Product Master • Business Partner • Product Structure • Organizational Structure l Data Services: Manage the CMDM Environment • Data Management Services • Change Management • Distribution l Others • Content Integration, Data Staging (ODS), Adapters, Etc.
Hosted by MDM Technology l Runs on Net. Weaver l Workflow is SAP-Only l BW Can Be Used, But Master Data in CMDM l Database Independent
Hosted by MDM Q 3 Deliverables l Master Data Server (Object Definition and Deployment) l Content Integration l Exchange l Adapters l MDM Database
Hosted by MDM: What’s the Value? l De-duping • Huge Cost In M&A and Dynamic Businesses • Non-Management Costs Can Be Even Larger: Accuracy in Operations, Support and Service • SAP ROI Analysis: $4 million in Savings l Lower Overall Integration Costs l Consolidation and Collaboration • Economies of Scale for Data Can Match the Economies of Scale in the Rest of the Enterprise
Hosted by MDM: What’s the Catch? l Best for R/3 Centric to Start l Master Data Definitions Require A Harmonization Process FIRST (Remember BPR? ) l Adapters, Adapters l Horizontal To Start, But Better As a Vertical l The More You Do, the More You Integrate
Hosted by MDM: How To Get Ready l Think Master Data Objects l Think Process First: What are Real-world Benefits l Don’t Integrate Everything (Remember the Data Warehouse Overruns) l Get To Know Net. Weaver
