Deploy SAP MDG…

Customers typically choose to…
… create a dedicated master data hub and distribute to all operative systems, or
… co-deploy*) with an existing SAP ERP (e.g. pick one of their SAP ERP’s as the master for a particular domain) and
create and distribute master data from there
… on top of an existing
operational SAP ERP system
*) if speed of innovation in their ERP systems does not allow for quick introduction of SAP MDG, some customers create a separate system first, and re-combine later

Master data governance in hybrid landscapesSynchronized master data across on-premise and on-demand solutions
All systems always in synch
Master data creation can happen in on-demand systems, on-
premise systems, or in SAP MDG
De-central creation triggers a process in SAP MDG
After approval, enriched high-quality master data is replicated to
all relevant cloud and on-premise systems
Out-of-the-box, yet adaptable integration
Can be implemented based on standard capabilities,
synchronization e.g. using extendable SOA services
Any system can be involved as source and/or target
Pre-built integration for selected SAP systems
Move to the cloud at your own speed
A master data hub (like MDG) that synchronizes master data
across on-premise and on-demand solutions is a prerequisite for
your system landscape simplification and your step-by-step move

The role of SAP MDG in the context of SAP S/4HANAMDG roadmap is fully integrated and aligned with the S/4HANA roadmap
The role of an SAP MDG hub in a system landscape does not change
Distribute master data to all systems in the landscape: non-SAP systems, SAP Business Suite
systems, SAP S/4HANA systems,…
On-premise or private cloud deployment is supported for SAP MDG
Most companies run SAP MDG as a hub / co-deployment with SAP ERP supported today /
co–deployment with SAP S/4HANA on-premise planned
(Please note that while SAP HANA is still optional for SAP MDG, we will continue to simplify and
optimize MDG on HANA. We plan to provide these improvements with non-disruptive upgrades.)
SAP S/4HANA move is a perfect opportunity to revisit your data quality
Smooth business operations and accurate analytics depend on high-quality (master) data
Support your move to SAP S/4HANA with master data consolidation in SAP MDG
After that, use central governance in SAP MDG to guarantee long-term quality of master data
Integration with SAP S/4HANA Finance available today
SAP S/4HANA Finance can be a distribution target for SAP MDG’s master data
Central Finance can leverage MDG’s centralized master data & key mapping for aligned postings
Co-deployment of SAP MDG and SAP S/4HANA Finance is supported (see also SAP Note 2103558)
also SAP Note 2103558)
This is the current state of planning and may be changed by SAP at any time.
