SAP Master Data Governance on SAP ERP Cloud is the cornerstone of enterprise data governance: central maintenance and consolidation across distributed systems, built-in validation, matching and duplicate checking, workflow-driven approval and version control, and embedded machine learning — across business partner, material, finance, and custom domains.
This ETS guide maps the full SAP data-governance ecosystem (SAP Data Intelligence Cloud for orchestration and lineage, SAP Data Services for cleansing and migration, SAP Information Steward for quality monitoring, and BTP Data Quality Services for real-time validation and global reference data) and lays out a structured best-practice framework: assess and profile current data, define a governance framework with clear owners, stewards, and custodians plus data-quality KPIs, standardize and harmonize golden records, automate validation, monitor continuously, and design governance into business workflows.
It covers migration and stewardship excellence, the results organizations report (duplicate reduction, faster material and business-partner creation, improved accuracy and completeness), a phased ROI timeline through months 1–18 and beyond, and the key success factors for sustained data excellence.
The full deck is available above as a PDF. ETS helps organizations design and implement SAP MDG programs that stick.
