What does SAP China business reflect?

The second day of SAP China Business, SAP Senior Program architect Maching a speech at the cloud computing and database and Technology Innovation Forum to share hands-on experience with SAP Master Data management in the Enterprise . At the same time, he said that enterprises to improve information management can not only reduce data costs, but also improve decision-making efficiency, so that master data management is the people, process and technology are relatively unified, using SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (SAP NetWeaver MDM) solution can be implemented in three combinations.

Maching that there is no information management of the data environment can be broadly reflected in large, bad, dirty, stored in the islands of information difficult to analyze the use of data, inaccurate, incomplete, inconsistent and inaccessible problems such as the enterprise each year to create additional costs, and the cost is very high.

Poorly managed information leads to the "head" phenomenon of decision making, which inevitably affects the normal operation of an enterprise business. Maching that the traditional or popular information management costs will show a gradual upward trend, and strategic information management spending only in the activation of the link needs of the enterprise to invest a higher cost, then show a gradual downward trend. The latter has obvious advantages, but how to get information management to be better planned? Designing and drawing through the master data management method is the answer to the problem.

What is master Data management (Mdm-master)? Maching that "master data management is an organic combination of people, processes and technology to form a complete set of management mechanisms to ensure and master data into the enterprise's valuable assets." "According to the introduction, the core objectives of master data management are shown in the following areas:
• Develop and implement unified, scientifically sound data standards throughout the enterprise that are consistent with business requirements
• Through the implementation of data standards is the enterprise internal business links used by the main data integrity, only a real version and high quality
• Improve master data usage and user trust in enterprise data quality
• Ultimately meet the needs of many management strategic objectives of the enterprise

With the goal of master data management, what are the areas where enterprises need to plan and design? Maching believes that better implementation of master data management needs to be considered from five aspects, including data standards, organizational structure, management processes, technical tools and data.
Data standards: The development of data standards related to the main data
Organizational structure: Establishing a special organization to execute data standards and manage master data
Management process: Specify the management process for data standards and data encoding
Technical means: technical means to support the implementation of master data management concepts
Data: Data conforming to data standards and specifications

According to Maching, SAP NetWeaver MDM can help businesses cope with the need for master data management, a SAP solution that can serve both it and business units. The business scenarios supported by SAP NetWeaver MDM include vendor data consolidation, customer data integration, and MDM-BI summary reports, and supported it scenarios including master data consolidation, master data collaboration, and centralized master data management.
