Master Data Management (MDM): Drive Cost Reduction & Control Your Purchasing Data.

Gaining control of Direct Materials Procurement across the enterprise can be an impossible task due to the part number proliferation that plagues the automotive industry. Master Data Management (MDM) holds the key to controlling purchasing data.

Capgemini’s Approach to Master Data Management

Capgemini’s approach takes a holistic view of Master Data Management, including strategy and roadmap. Our proactive approach funnels everything into a flow of data that’s easy to govern and check with key performance indicators, enabling collaboration inside and outside your firewall. As a result, automotive companies can establish and maintain data standardization, internal data alignment, and external data synchronization guidelines and processes for creating, storing and publishing master data.

Capgemini and SAP Join Forces on Master Data Management

To create and manage such a flow of data requires that a new tool be integrated into the system. Our non-intrusive approach applies master data and governance offsite into a central master data application such as SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (SAP NetWeaver MDM).

Capgemini and SAP have joined together to deploy SAP NetWeaver MDM within the automotive industry. With Capgemini’s strategic approach, tool kit, governance model, accelerators and knowledge we can help your company realize the full potential of SAP NetWeaver MDM:

  • To enforce data governance practices.
  • To validate orders to ensure the enforcement of accurate part numbers and suppliers’ rules.
  • To improve collaboration with suppliers, customers and partners more effectively and efficiently.
