With a highly regulated global operating environment, the company depends on trusted master data to support manufacturing, regulatory compliance, and supply chain operations. To modernize its data landscape and prepare for future growth, the organization implemented SimpleMDG to centralize master data governance, improve data quality, and strengthen operational agility across the enterprise.

Material Master Records
Managing more than 350,000 material master records across multiple regions, the company faced growing challenges in maintaining data integrity, ensuring regulatory compliance, and improving operational efficiency. Multiple disconnected systems required extensive manual intervention for CSV validation and regulatory processes, resulting in fragmented data, inconsistent governance, higher operational costs, and increased compliance risk.
Outdated workflows and disconnected data silos slowed decision-making, limited visibility across the enterprise, and made it increasingly difficult to maintain consistent master data governance.
To address these challenges, the organization required a centralized, automated master data governance platform to standardize business processes, strengthen compliance, improve data quality, and increase operational agility across the enterprise.
To address these challenges, the company implemented SimpleMDG, built natively on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), to establish a centralized master data governance framework that seamlessly integrates with SAP and non-SAP systems.
Using SimpleMDG's Network Process Intelligence capabilities, the organization unified previously disconnected master data types into a single, governed process through flexible, rules-based workflows. This provided greater visibility, improved control, and enabled the orchestration of cross-object dependencies across materials, suppliers, and inventory.
By automating critical governance and compliance workflows, the company significantly reduced manual intervention while improving the accuracy and reliability of CSV validation and supporting GxP-compliant electronic records and signatures.
The solution also provided real-time access to inventory and supplier data, improving supply chain visibility and enabling faster, data-driven decision-making. As the organization prepares for its SAP S/4HANA transformation, SimpleMDG has established a trusted data foundation that supports a cleaner, more efficient migration.
The implementation of SimpleMDG has delivered measurable business impact. By unifying master data across SAP and non-SAP systems, the company has eliminated redundancies and improved data accuracy. The time required to process maintenance requests has been reduced from 4-5 days to just a few hours, thereby significantly enhancing operational efficiency. With the retirement of two legacy systems, the company has successfully cut its data governance expenses by 50%, reallocating resources to strategic initiatives.
The company also strengthened its compliance posture through automated validation workflows that support FDA and GMP requirements while reducing compliance risks. Building on this foundation, it now has trusted, high-quality master data to support future innovation, operational excellence, and continued digital transformation.
