SAP Master Data Governance functions as a standard data model, offering users both an inbuilt and custom data model. Regardless of the type of data or attributes involved, users can add, delete, and decompose fields and attributes based on the specific data model, whether it pertains to suppliers, customers, finance, or master data. Once the governance process is completed, the data can be seamlessly moved to the target system, showcasing one of the key advantages of SAP Master Data Governance.
The continuous governance of creating master data is great. If the master data is unorganized or inaccurate, the sanctity of the transition data would not be intact. Hence, this solution provides continuous monitoring and governance for creating the master data. We deploy this solution on public cloud and on-premises.
I work on the functional side of this solution. From an operations point of view, that relates to critical attributions, rules, the way in which data quality improves, and the way the tool governs activities with respect to different business stakeholders. I work for a global analytics and consulting company. We are end users and I'm a senior manager.

The solution is primarily used for workflows. For example, in Turkey, some of our customers have different material quotes, material numbers, or material types. Everything is so confusing from the main company. It's hard to go over the old data. However, with MDG, they can see all the data in the system. It allows for an effective data workflow. There are workflows for all kinds of items, including materials, data, customer's financials, vendor details, ERPs, etc.

We're a consulting company in the area of procurement solutions, where product and supplier master data builds the base for any Spend Analytics, Strategy and any Automation Scenarios. Majority of our customers use SAP MDG especially for Supplier Master Data. Our customers are integrating their central SAP MDG with procurement solutions for self-registration and supplier profiling including supplier qualification, supplier performance and development. The central SAP MDG is also used as master data hub to distribute Central Master Data and Supplier Master Data into the different back end systems like SAP ERPs and Non SAP ERPs and others.
The solution is for creating and managing a Master Data across an organization. We implement the solution for customers to streamline the creation, inundation, and dilution of Master Data across domains, such as financial masters. The main use case is to increase data quality by starting to create the right data with the right people and distribute it to the consuming systems. We want to enable users to be able to identify the golden record for all of a particular Master Data set. For example, to prevent a unique customer from getting mixed up in the use cases. Bringing in data standardization, to prevent users from spending too much time on the creation of the Master Data. This can be done via the implementation of business tools by the customer or sometimes the company itself, preventing the overload of data. Lastly, data enrichment can also be achieved.
