MDM implementation experience

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Can you please share your experiences in any MDM implementations and the hurdles faced when starting a new MDM project?

Also how do we need to prepare ourselves from technical point of view?

Hi Preethi,

According to me, The following things are required for MDM Implementation:

1. Project Preparation - Resource managment etc.

2. Studying the Business-process running in the Company.

3. Preparing the System landscape of the company and then also distinguishing it for various Domains. ( like Customer, Products, Vendor etc.) - Can be termed as Blue-Printing

4. Preparing the Attribute analysis matrix, where you specify the list of the fields which you will be maintaining into MDM.

5. Deciding the structure (type of tables) in MDM which will suitably store the fields.- Can be termed as Data Modelling.

6. Once this has been decided, you can then Technically start Woking upon the Implementation/Developments.

The 4th, 5th, and the 6th steps can be brought into Project Realization.

You might also require other SAP tools such as XI and EP which will based upon your requirement and the system landscape.

The next step will be Testing and the Integration testing.

Note : Some other steps may also be required depending upon your business studies.

Hope it helps.

*Please reward Points if useful.

Thanks and Regards
