We are planning to use SAP MDM 7.1 in our landscape. This is a new

implementation having SAP ERP 6.0 / EHS, SAP Portal 7.0 and SAP PI7.1.

Also I would like to know if there are any reasons why we should use

MDM 5.5 vs MDM 7.1.

Your recommendation and advice is highly appreciated.

Hi Venkat,

If you compare MDM 5.5 with MDM 7.1 .There are a lot of changes right from the Look and feel of MDM 7.1 to the feature enhancement.

One of the major develpoment in the 7.1 release of MDM is the improvements done in the Data modelling area in the MDM repository.

Kindly refer the below link to understand the Data modelling advancement with the MDM 7.1 version:
