Masking sensitive test data has improved compliance and now enables safe, realistic debugging
The best features DataMasque offers that stand out to me are the flexibility to create rule sets and mask UUIDs, which have been really beneficial. Additionally, their customer service and technical support have been very helpful in getting this set up. The flexibility in creating rule sets has helped my team specifically because we have lots of dependencies on different databases and different database types. We have an RDS instance and an OpenSearch instance. Having those rule sets really allowed us to connect data between the two because the same data can be across multiple datasets. Creating these rules enabled us to not think too much about which ones need to be unique or which ones need to be the same across different tables. Whenever we run into issues or questions, we are able to talk to the DataMasque team, and they give us a reasonable technical response within a good timeframe that allows us to solve our issues pretty quickly. We have not had huge delays or blockers because of the communication between us and DataMasque. I appreciate the consistency to continue to improve the application, and there are new features coming out this year that will be tools we use. DataMasque is doing a great job of adding new features, and we will definitely be using them in the future. DataMasque has positively impacted our organization by already showing visible benefits in security and reduced risks for compliance, even though we are still in the process of setting up production and using it to the full extent. It will allow our developers to troubleshoot issues easily without the risk of viewing PHI or anything similar. We are seeing the benefits already of that, but we still need to complete the full integration and incorporate it into our workflows to see the full benefits, which we are currently in the process of. So far, it has been really good. By just masking production data, we can go into this masked database set to understand edge cases and issues as they come up from support without the developers having to look at any production data. They can go into this masked dataset and see the problem firsthand, something we would not have caught with our dev dataset because it is such a smaller amount of data, whereas production has a vast amount of data that we can look through.

Centralized master data has improved quality and now supports consistent global governance
Regarding what SAP can do better in SAP Master Data Governance, they have an entire roadmap of constant improvements since they deployed the product, always adding new business functionality and add-ons. Each company may have different feedback, wishing for certain features. The essence of SAP Master Data Governance is to provide structure, and from my standpoint, it offers a pretty good structure. There will always be areas for improvement; for example, when I deployed it a few years ago, their approach to internal orders for finance was still new, and they were figuring out how it would work based on organizational requirements. The financial data objects are straightforward, but financial statements are a bit more challenging. It is not a one-time deployment; it requires ongoing investment in user and product knowledge, and you need to weigh the pros and cons of any IT solution. I often advise clients to walk before they run because establishing hierarchies requires having a designed structure before implementation, though you can add that later. For additional functions in SAP Master Data Governance, it is interesting because on my project, we are already using AI technology for data cleansing before records are entered into SAP Master Data Governance. It would be beneficial to have the Dun & Bradstreet add-on within SAP Master Data Governance. However, one must remember that for AI to work effectively, it requires good data. Without that, AI does not make a difference. SAP Master Data Governance will always require a human perspective, especially to identify duplicate records. While SAP Master Data Governance provides technical capabilities for identifying potential duplicates based on searches, it requires human oversight due to the complexity of analyzing data fields. I believe integrating AI into the product could work, particularly after a solid data migration, which ensures that the records are reliable before utilizing AI for analytics.
