Figuring out the best data model to manage a company's master data can be cumbersome: continuous discussions and redesigns cost worthy time and effort. And then, once you are through with it, you'll probably spend even more time integrating the model into your IT landscape.
In such a context, predefined business content for SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management provides a competitive edge by facilitating the integration with:
- SAP Business Suite applications for optimized ETL processes and quick adoption of the data models used in the landscape
- SAP NetWeaver Process Integration to quickly activate the data exchange middleware
- SAP NetWeaver Portal to run MDM effectively in a thin-client environment
