Hi Sunil ,

Yeah! it is advisable to learn MDM for SAP XI consultants

These r the details regarding MDM

SAP NetWeaver MASTER DATA MANAGEMENT :

SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (SAP NetWeaver MDM) is an enabling foundation for enterprise services and business process management – providing a single version of the truth for customer, product, employee, supplier, or user-defined data objects.

Working across heterogeneous systems at disparate locations, SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management ensures cross-system data consistency through interactive distribution. It integrates business processes across the extended value chain, delivering features and functions to enable:

Master data consolidation – Consolidate master data for companywide analysis and reporting. SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management consolidates and cleanses master data objects from disparate systems. After consolidation, it stores information from different systems in a centralized repository. Related rich content can be included to augment the data store.

Synchronization and distribution of master data – Enable consistent data maintenance and distribution to ensure permanent harmonization of master data. Using global attributes, you can ensure that all systems receive the same master data during distribution – and enrich the distributed data objects with additional attribute values in the target systems. Distribution can be controlled, visible, and traceable, with active status management at each distribution step.

Centralized management of master data – Supports companywide quality standards by ensuring that central control of master data begins as soon as the data is created. Centrally created master data can subsequently be distributed to client systems as required using interactive distribution.

Administration of master data – Manage master data without custom code. A powerful interface supports administrative tasks such as data exception handling and assignment of role-based access to business processes and information. Data managers use the interface to configure data source merging, business rules, and distribution details to downstream applications.

Management of internal content – Collect and centralize all your content – including parametric information and rich content such as images, paragraphs of text, PDF documents, and organizational intelligence about content – in an enterprisewide repository.

Catalog search – Deploy intuitive interfaces that help you locate items internally, publish Web catalogs on e-commerce storefronts and in supplier enablement programs, and integrate easy-to-search catalogs into e-procurement solutions – all from a centralized repository, and all at speeds surpassing normal SQL-based queries.

Print catalog customization – Disseminate product information directly from a centralized catalog repository to popular desktop publishing programs, and automatically generate fully formatted and populated page layouts.

Multichannel syndication of product catalog content – Publish restructured and reformatted extracts or incremental updates of your product catalog content – and distribute them to trading partners in several delimited text and XML formats – on an unscheduled or regular basis.

Business process support – Enable communication in a heterogeneous environment, and insert master data into other systems.

Business analytics and reporting – Leverage synchronized data for reliable analysis and accurate reporting.

Hi Sunil,

Its always good for XI consultants to go for MDM.

Please find the basic details below.

SAP NetWeaver MDM features the following capabilities:

- Data Extraction: Extract master data on a logical object level from a client system

- Data Transformation: Transform structure and content (values) during import and syndication of master data

- Data Cleansing: Normalize and standardize information

- Data Enrichment: Complement data to achieve complete and meaningful master data (for example, using 3rd party services)

- De-Duplication: Match and merge objects to eliminate ambiguous and redundant data

- Key Mapping: Provide cross-system identification to ensure enterprise-wide data quality

- Data Validation: Ensure compliance according to defined criteria

- Data Modeling: Provide the environment for creating and extending data models for object repositories

- Data Distribution – Distribute centrally consolidated master data on object level to client systems with delta handling

- Publishing: Enable multi-channel publishing (for example, publish product data in printed catalogs or Web catalogs).

cleansing - Removing the non useful or very common things like Corp , AB , GMBH , comma , dots , etc .

duplication - If two records matches on certain parameters like name , address , VAT no , then merge them . These 2 records can be of diff systems or sometimes from same system as well .

key mapping - Source System is in the key to identify and also in harmonisation .

data validation - Forcing certain things to be added exclusively ( quite important ) .

Key Things will be used among these are :

Data Extraction , Data Transformation, Data Cleansing , De-Duplication , Key Mapping, Data Validation, Data Distribution

Key Topics are Consolidation , Harmonisation and Central Data Management .

Key things of MDM are MDM Console , MDM Import manager , MDM DataManager , MDM Syndicator .
