Master Data: Check, Ready, Go!

This article explains how our solution for master data management can save on the implementation costs of SAP ERP projects. And obviously make sure you kick off with master data of a high quality.

Why master data quality checks should be run before you implement, upgrade your SAP ERP system!

We do not find it very difficult to explain to our customers why healthy master data is important for transaction- and reporting systems to run properly.

However we have discovered that because of the time pressure on SAP ERP implementations the quality of the master data uploaded is often not the highest priority. And for SAP upgrades the same story applies. The priorities are most of the time with getting the “technical” job executed, what ever way.

NewFrontiers offers a service derived from our full master data quality management solution that can effectively help you to check and improve the quality of your master data before you load it in your ERP system. In fact we can help you uploading your master data into your new transaction system, fast and of a high quality.

For that we have developed a solution we call QuickStart for Master Data Management that can be deployed in a few days. Data can be uploaded from several sources (that is SAP and non SAP) and subsequently corrected. Standard routines have been developed to find duplicates, errors in the addresses and much more.

This service can almost always be delivered at a lower cost than when it is allocated to an anonymous person in a large project team. And NewFrontiers can always deliver a better quality! And we have not even started to talk about the costs of fixing the problems after the implemenation under pressure of irritated users!

And when the implementation is done the solution can help you to protect the quality of the master data in your system(s)!
