IMPORTANT NOTE:
This getting started paper contains important information for your initial log-on to the SAP
Master Data Governance, cloud edition – trial version on SAP Business Technology Platform
Trial. Make sure to read the instructions prior to your initial log on.
Basic information for participants in the trial, SAP’s expectations, and log-on information
Business processes and enterprise analytics depend on consistent and reliable data. This holds true for all
economies, even more so in times of change and instability like we are facing right now. SAP Master Data
Governance on S/4HANA is our proven master data management solution that helps our customers run their
business based on high-quality data. It is available as an on-premise and private-cloud offering. Now we are
extending SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) with an additional deployment option: SAP Master Data
Governance, cloud edition. This complementary solution governs core (that is, application-agnostic) master data
attributes based on SAP One Domain Model and is planned to use SAP Master Data Integration for sharing
master data across hybrid landscapes. Application-specific master data attributes are in the realm of de-central
Public
applications. This allows for a modular master data management approach which ensures that master data is
governed where it is best understood.
Initially, SAP Master Data Governance, cloud edition focuses on Business Partner data.
SAP Master Data Governance, cloud edition provides fast time to value and is planned as a low entry point for
new SAP MDG customers while offering existing SAP MDG implementations a non-disruptive deployment option
to build to a more granular system network for master data management.
With this 30 days’ trial version, we would like to invite you to get a first glance and hands-on experience. Please
note that this trial focuses on selected basic features and does not provide the complete functional scope of SAP
Master Data Governance, cloud edition.
Trial Scope
