The Strength of SimpleMDG

The SMDG consulting model is a lean business driven approach to implementing SAP S/4HANA data governance with maximum financial returns in less than six months.

By stark contrast, experience indicates that conventional projects are mainly IT driven, take at least two-years to go-live and fail to gain significant business benefits.

Classic reasons for conventional SAP data governance project poor past performance are:

  1. Lack of a solid SAP data governance business case to drive change and prioritise value delivery.
  2. Lack of an effective enterprise data governance organisation to set data standards and policies as well as competently manage new data governance models.
  3. Poor SAP data model and workflow performance due to inability to exploit new technology and change obsolete technical and organisational practices.

The SMDG consulting model addresses conventional problems through:

  1. Business benefit / data quality KPI driven SAP data governance projects.
  2. Rapid development of detailed business cases in order to financially justify new customer data governance programs.
  3. Use of SCOUT INDUSTRY, SCOUT BUSINESS and SCOUT DATA expert systems and profit mining tools for ERP operational gap-analysis and auto-generation of MDG business cases, SAP data model and workflow accelerators.
  4. Accelerators for a range of SAP objects including business rules for Materials, Classes, BOMs, Routings, Task Lists, Equipment and Business Partners.
  5. Pre-configured standard functions including duplicate checks using HANA fuzzy searches, value derivations, WF receiver determination logic, external enrichment and check interfaces, parallel WFs, BRF+ examples, integrated WFs, mass consolidation logic etc.
  6. A comprehensive template for building a first-class data governance organisational model.
  7. Best practice organisational change management approach guidelines.
    Full SAP data model integration to critical data cleansing and migration activities.
