CDI

[#1]

Hi!

Can anyone please address the following questions:

- Who are the data quality partners for SAP? if none, how does SAP go about the data profiling, cleansing, matching, de-dup stages?

- SAP is primarily looked upon as a PIM vendor. Does SAP MDM has customers in the CDI area too? If yes, who are they? Are their any indian customers? In case anyone has any case study in this context, I'll be obliged if you forward the same.

Thanks,

Taj.

Thanks Markus,

I'd also appreciate if you could share some case studies (CDI) with me. Also, has there been any enhancements in SP05 as far as the data cleansing, de-dup, match and merge are concerned. What I can make out from your blog's demo is that SAP MDM's only matching capability is based on the combination of attributes, defined by the user.

The demo is based on an MDM 5.5 release prior to SP4. MDM 5.5 SP4 features a new matching mode in the MDM Data Manager where you can set rules and strategies for matching. For details on this, see the blog /people/michael.reil/blog/2006/05/18/mdm-matching-strategies-for-master-data-consolidation and the documentation on SAP Help Portal (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/b6/14124aae4a46b4b3be41001eb54b51/frameset.htm (sorry the link in my first response was wrong)).

SP5 enhancements are yet to be announced.
