Hi friends,
I wanted to start this topic as a debate/analysis perse,
we want to analyse,
what is the best Integration Approach for MDG HUB in SAP landscape?
Option1: Integrating MDG HUB directly with other systems[ECC, CRM, SRM, SCM, etc].
Option2: MDG HUB feeding all master data to ECC & ECC distributing directly to other systems[ECC, CRM, SRM, SCM, etc]
please share your experiences/understandings with reasonings. Thx.
One thing for sure; there is no best option. Everybody has their own constraint and factors that derive this decision. There are a few things to consider here:
Based on those answers (and the many others that I didn't ask), each implementation can decide what is the best approach. Again, the list above is just a sample of what should be asked to reach a decision.

Hi Sanjay,
Thank you for the link.
SAP Recommendation document mostly talks about Deployment/Database Architecture topics.
it mentions less on MDG Integration Approach options.
please let me know, if there is any other SAP recommendation document providing insight on MDG Integration details. Thx.
Hello San
The best approach would be MDG implemented as HUB. Govern master data in MDG and later on transfer to any system from MDG.

Thank you Abdullah & Kiran for your inputs,
Below is our situation with respect to Abdullah's questions,
Ans: There are some scattered existing systems & interfaces. BUT, for the sake of simplicity, we want to assume, this as brand new landscape with MDG HUB & few other new systems like ECC, SRM, CRM , etc.
Ans: New MDG HUB & new ECC.
Ans: Non-Master data would be handled using ECC.
Ans: Lets go with whole landscape as new. we want to implement MDG on HUB.
Ans: mostly it would be point-to-point using out of box functionalities.
@Kiran,
i am in bit confusion, if you considered my second option
"Option2: MDG HUB feeding all master data to ECC & ECC distributing directly to other systems[ECC, CRM, SRM, SCM, etc]". before recommending. pls confirm.
@both,
we are mostly tilting towards MDG HUB distributing data directly to all SAP & Non-SAP systems.
But, we want to get good justification & want to make sure, it is the best practice across market in a similar situation of ours.
Please provide your thoughts accordingly.
Also, please provide few pros & cons for both the options, from integration persepective. Thx for all the help.
Hello San
Answer to your question -
"Option2: MDG HUB feeding all master data to ECC & ECC distributing directly to other systems[ECC, CRM, SRM, SCM, etc]". before recommending. pls confirm. - If you are implementing MDG as HUB then you can distribute the master data from MDG itself. No need to distribute it from ECC.
Also as mention by Abdullah, both approaches are best but it depends upon the system architecture.
