- SAP MDM also enables to create, read, update, and delete master data well across the organization
- With proper setup, it has helped prevent bad master data in the production environment
Cons
- HANA is used for consolidation and there is adequate room for improvement in the consolidation function
- Business users can also contribute to improving the business workflows if there were a simple wizard set up for this purpose - at present, contributions are made through IT ticketing system
Return on Investment
