Taming the Data Zoo: What in the ERP World is SAP MDG?
Let's face it, data. It's everywhere. It multiplies faster than rabbits in a magician's hat, and keeping it all organized can feel like herding cats on roller skates. Especially in the land of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), where data is the king (or queen, depending on your preference), things can get hairy fast.
This is where SAP Master Data Governance (SAP MDG) waltzes in, like Mary Poppins with a spreadsheet and a bottomless bag of data-calming magic.
