Hi Maheshkumar,

MDM is an SAP tool specifically designed to handle and manage master data coming from several sap and non sap systems.

SAP-MDM performs many activities on the master data like:

- Consolidation

- Deduplication

- Data enrichment

- Data Quality

- Data Governance

etc...

I do understand that we have BI and PI systems in the SAP Netweaver platform but each of them are used for different purposes at all.

BI is speciafiaclly for reportinga dn PI is for excahange and data transfer.

SAP-MDM looks specifically into Master data management.

Its like an R/3 system can also be used for reporting but we use BI as BI is designed keeping in mind the reporting needs in detail.
