Hi,

SAP provides six scenarios u2014 or approaches to working with SAP NetWeaver u2014 to help companies maintain their master data while at the same supporting a flexible, innovative IT environment. These are as follows:

1. Master Data Consolidation u2014

In this scenario, users use SAP NetWeaver MDM to collect master data from several systems at a central location, detect and clean up duplicate and identical objects, and manage the local object keys for cross-system communication. With this consolidated data, users can access the information they need to perform company-wide analyses and consolidated reporting.

2. Master Data Harmonization---

This scenario enhances the Master Data Consolidation scenario by forwarding the consolidated master data information to all connected, remote systems, thus depositing unified, high-quality data in heterogeneous system landscapes. With this scenario, you can synchronize central data contents u2014 that is, globally relevant data u2014 based on your results. For example, you can assign the same address to all occurrences of a particular customer.

3. Central Master Data Management---

Whereas the emphasis in the Master Data Harmonization scenario is on local data maintenance, the Central Master Data Management scenario focuses on cleansing data in the central data repository. It then distributes the cleansed data to the connected application systems.

4. Rich Product Content Management---

This scenario is intended for the product information management (PIM) market, as it offers many functions for managing product data and corresponding image files centrally via SAP NetWeaver MDM. It can also be used to prepare for publishing product catalogs, either in electronic Web format or in print.

5. Customer Data Integration---

The Customer Data Integration scenario lets you harmonize customer master data records across heterogeneous systems.

6. Global Data Synchronization---

Through Global Data Synchronization, unified object information is synchronized with data pools, such as UCCnet and Transora, in a standard industrial format, then provided

to trading partners.

Through these different ways of using the capabilities of SAP NetWeaver MDM, companies can structure a master data strategy around their data unification goals u2014 based on their unique business processes, organizational structure, or industry.
