SAP Enterprise Master Data Management
As the market requirements for master data management develop across industries and domains, the best way to tackle the manifold challenges around master data in large enterprises is to provide generic master data management scenarios for analytical and operational use cases and for collaborative data governance, while simultaneously addressing very specific vertical or horizontal master data-related business pain points with self-contained, directly applicable solutions. SAP accommodates this trend with an extended end-to-end MDM portfolio covering both SAP embedded and full-enterprise usages. Nov. 15, 2010
