Today, companies in diverse industries find themselves conducting business globally. As a result, IT systems and infrastructures are playing increasingly important operational roles in ensuring success across a diverse and complex geography.

For many businesses that maintain distributed IT landscapes, providing consistent, common master data for customers, suppliers, distributors, and products has become crucial to business success. Managing the data, however, can be a challenge. And without a specific solution to address this challenge, businesses find themselves maintaining duplicate master data across a number of different locations and systems. This produces redundancies and inconsistencies that can increase costs, disrupt business, and adversely impact the quality of customer service.

To enable companies to better consolidate and share key business information across multiple divisions and with trading partners, SAP introduced SAP Master Data Management. As a capability of SAP NetWeaver, the comprehensive integration and application platform, SAP Master Data Management leverages SAP's in-depth business and best-in-class technology to enable information integrity in networked business environments.

In this chat, you'll learn more about the key capabilities of SAP Master Data Management, including content consolidation and cleansing, master data harmonization, and central master data management. You'll see how SAP Master Data Management will help you leverage your existing IT investments far more effectively -- reducing costs associated with data harmonization and distribution, and improving the operational efficiency of key business processes through enterprisewide data consistency.
