The report states that SAP’s “years of presence in the industries enables it to offer multiple business templates” and that SAP Master Data Governance “supports multiple compliance standards across industries with automated validations.”
The Forrester report points out “SAP’s distinct vision is to have a modular approach that enables federated master data governance and use this to offer pricing flexibility, which is tiered and deployment based.”
Markus Kuppe, vice president and chief product owner of SAP Master Data Governance, believes that “SAP can provide much more value to our customers than just any master data management tool provider because we understand how master data is used in business context. We create benefits for our customers leveraging this understanding. That is why we call our SAP platform a ‘business technology platform’ and not just a ‘technology platform.’ We can provide master data management capabilities that truly support all domains, all industries, and all approaches, embedded into the business. We have proven this with SAP Master Data Governance, and we will continue to deliver on this unique promise.”
