Approach▪ SAP Cloud Platform Master Data for workforce delivers consistent people data to enable digital end-to-end business processes across
solutions in the Intelligent Enterprise.
▪ Designed as a centralized service on SAP Cloud Platform, it is a key part of our Intelligent Enterprise software architecture that
enables comprehensive integration and drives the employee experience.

required by (primarily non-HRIS) applications such as SAP S/4HANA, SAP Fieldglass, SAP Concur, and other (non-HRIS) future SAP
Cloud Platform applications.
