Prometheus SAP Master Data Governance FAQs:

What is data governance in SAP?
Data governance in SAP refers to the processes, policies, and procedures that organizations implement to ensure the quality, security, and integrity of their data within the SAP system. This includes defining roles and responsibilities for managing data, establishing data standards and guidelines, implementing data protection measures, ensuring compliance with regulations, and monitoring data quality and consistency. Effective data governance in SAP helps organizations make better decisions, improve operational efficiency, and mitigate risks associated with data management. By implementing data governance practices in SAP, businesses can optimize their operations, enhance data-driven decision-making, and maintain a competitive edge in the digital age. 
What is the difference between SAP Master Data Management (MDM) and Master Data Governance (MDG)?
SAP Master Data Management (MDM) and Master Data Governance (MDG) are two key components of SAP's data management solutions, but they serve slightly different purposes. MDM focuses on the overall management and maintenance of an organization's master data, ensuring consistency and accuracy across systems. On the other hand, MDG is more focused on the governance aspect, establishing policies and workflows to control data creation, updates, and deletion processes. While MDM is more about data quality and centralization, MDG is about data control and compliance. MDM is about managing data, while MDG is about governing data. Both are essential for a successful data management strategy in an organization. 
What is master data governance (MDG)?
Master data governance is the process of managing and ensuring the quality, consistency, and accuracy of an organization's master data. Master data includes critical information such as customer data, product information, and financial records that are used across multiple systems and applications. By implementing master data governance, companies can establish policies, procedures, and controls to govern how master data is created, updated, and maintained. This helps to avoid data inconsistencies, errors, and duplication, ultimately enhancing data quality and decision-making across the organization. 
What is Prometheus Group's role in SAP Master Data Governance?
Prometheus Group is a global SAP Solution Extension Partner offering master data governance solutions for SAP Plant Maintenance and SAP Intelligent Asset Management. 
What is SAP MDG-EAM?
SAP MDG-EAM (SAP Master Data Governance for Enterprise Asset Management) is a tool for managing master data objects in SAP Plant Maintenance, including equipment master, functional location, linear asset management, and more. 
What are the benefits of MDG-EAM and AIW?
The benefits of MDG-EAM (Master Data Governance for Enterprise Asset Management) and AIW (Asset Information Workbench) include auditable records for safety-critical equipment, reduced MRO supply chain costs, improved maintenance efficiency, reduced downtime, and enhanced regulatory compliance. 
How does SAP AIW help with data governance?
SAP AIW (Asset Information Workbench) connects multiple systems of record, standardizes reference models, facilitates maintenance best practices, and synchronizes asset master data. 
What is MDG-RFM and its benefits?
MDG-RFM (Master Data Governance for Retail Fashion Management) addresses Article/SKU creation and retirement, ensures data quality through governance, reduces system maintenance costs, and eliminates redundant data maintenance efforts. 
How does Prometheus Group support digital transformation?
Prometheus Group offers solutions like Asset Information Workbench (AIW) for supporting digital models, digital twins for equipment, and integration with SAP Asset Intelligence Network (AIN). 
What are examples of problems that can occur with ungoverned master data?
Problems that can occur with ungoverned master data include data inconsistency, redundancy, and inaccuracies. Without proper governance in place, different departments or individuals within an organization may create and update master data without coordination or communication. This can lead to duplicate or conflicting information, making it difficult to trust the accuracy of the data. Inconsistencies in naming conventions, data formats, and definitions can also arise, causing confusion and hindering data analysis and reporting efforts. Additionally, ungoverned master data can make it challenging to comply with regulatory requirements and impede data integration efforts across different systems and applications. Overall, the lack of governance for master data can result in decreased data quality, efficiency, and decision-making capabilities within an organization.
