Who Needs SAP MDM?

• Do you have multiple SAP or non SAP systems which houses the master data for example customers, vendors, partners etc., if the answer is yes then you might be needing it to consolidate your master data. For example your company and global subsidiaries have master data of customers which are housed in different SAP systems. There might be high probability of duplicate customers across the systems. SAP MDM helps you to remove that duplicates so that you can service your customers better. The same concept works for your other master data like vendors, materials, employees, product data and business partners.
• Global companies who ship from multiple locations as mismatched master data/product data will affect your ability to ship orders from global points as there would be problems in ATP etc as they won’t recognize both of them as same products/materials.

Benefits of SAP  MDM Module:

• No Coding, No Transactions
• Data Cleansing can be done. For example deletion of duplicate entries or merging of duplicate entries etc by defining rules.
• Ability to modify huge number of data records.
• Get data from multiple sources SAP, non SAP system, file or from XML and remember without coding.
• Validation of data while loading the data.

SAP Certification: Does it Matter?

Still we want to add few points:

• Having domain knowledge is more important than certification.
• Ability to learn things very quickly is one more attribute. The most seasoned SAP consultants also don’t know all about their respective modules…so everyday is learning if you are handling projects in different domain/industry sectors.
• Having a certificate may be mandatory in certain companies to work as SAP consultant, but we haven’t really seen any of those requirements.
• Having a certificate may be a fetching point for permanent jobs as SAP analyst, we feel the benefit is negligible for SAP Contractors.
