In 2020, support for SAP NetWeaver MDM was terminated after 15 years of service. Those companies that still rely on the solution as the single version of truth for their SAP Master data face the question of what to do next and which solution to choose for migration.
One of the options is SAP MDG, a modern SAP application with SAP S/4HANA support. The solution provides a single, reliable perspective of your company. Using a master data management layer built on the SAP Business Technology Platform, SAP Master Data Governance assists you in compiling and centrally managing master data.

Data Governance and Compliance

SAP MDG offers a centralized governance framework with built-in workflows, policies, and compliance tools, which SAP MDM lacks.

Integration with SAP S/4HANA

Businesses can leverage real-time synchronized master data across the entire SAP landscape since SAP MDG natively integrates with SAP S/4HANA and other SAP modules.

Data Quality Management

SAP MDG reduces the need for manual intervention by providing robust data quality tools, including validation, deduplication, and enrichment capabilities to increase data accuracy and consistency.

Workflow Automation and Approval Processes

Managing data approvals and validation processes became more automated and advanced as SAP MDG offers advanced workflow capabilities that increase efficiency, reduce errors and allow for customized approval flows.

Single Source of Truth

SAP MDG features comprehensive data deduplication and consolidation functionality. It minimizes redundancy that occurs with SAP MDM and creates a single source of truth for analytics and decision-making.

Scalability and Future-readiness

While SAP MDM has no design with cloud-readiness, SAP MDG supports both on-premises and cloud deployment, with flexible scalability aligned with SAP’s roadmap.

Multidomain Data Support

SAP MDG supports multidomain (e.g., customer, supplier, material) instead of focusing on a specific data domain with SAP MDM. Managing data across various business units and processes becomes versatile with SAP MDG.

Data Quality Monitoring

With SAP MDG, you can now proactively monitor data quality by using tools that alert users to data quality issues. It enables swift issue detection and resolution to uphold high data standards.

Reporting and Real-time Insights

SAP MDG comes with broader built-in analytics and reporting tools that provide real-time insights into data quality and governance metrics. It eliminates the need for third-party tools for advanced insights, which was the standard with SAP MDM.

Why should we migrate from SAP MDM to SAP MDG?

Real-time data processing, improved interaction with SAP S/4HANA, improved data governance, and sophisticated workflow automation are all benefits of moving from SAP MDM to SAP MDG. Compared to the outdated MDM platform, MDG provides a contemporary, scalable solution that enhances data quality, compliance, and overall operational efficiency.

How long does it take to migrate from SAP MDM to MDG?

The size of your master data repository, the complexity of your data, and particular business needs can all affect the length of the migration. Migrations typically take a few months to more than a year. A thorough assessment conducted during the planning stage can determine a more accurate timeline for your migration project.

Will our data be protected during the migration from MDM to MDG?

Yes, data security is our highest priority during the migration process. To guarantee that your data is safe, our migration services include strong data encryption, safe transfer protocols, and stringent access controls.

What kind of post-migration support is available?

We provide thorough post-migration support services, such as system monitoring, troubleshooting, and continuous optimization, to guarantee the seamless operation of your MDG solution. We also offer user training, updates, and improvements as required for your team to effectively utilize SAP MDG's capabilities.
