Hello Krishna,

To make it clear i''d like to share something about data and MDM.Data is the food for any system to run and master data is the heart of that system.Master data is that crucial information on which all your business process run.If your master data is not in proper shape the analytics run on them will be incorrect as a result the business decisions taken will be wrong and this will result in a complete failure of your business.

There are many ERP systems existing today but very few provide an effective,systematic and fool proof method to preserve a single version of truth odf your master data.

SAP MDM address this problem and so is here today to bring all your master data under one roof.

So,in general,benefits of keeping Master data in 1 place is

Conformance/Auditing

Single view of customer

Global data synchronization efforts

Accurate reporting

Consolidation after mergers and acquisitions

Reduced effort to consolidate information

Reduced cleansing/mapping of information

Increased efficiency

Reduced costs overall.

with this much details you can refer to the URLs which have detailed infomation about every aspects of MDM:

Hi, Krishna,

First, SAP offers courses in all their products including MDM, http://www.sap.com/usa/services/education/searchcourse.epx?context=FFC760B8923D16BB5150DAE63E7C1A6B3....

The MDM100 course is a great starter course that covers how to use the MDM GUIs, integration with other SAP products, and many hands on exercises.

Second, the MDM User Guides which are available on SAP Service MarketPlace are written with great attention to detail along with step by step explanations. The Data Manager Reference Guide alone is over 800 pages. There are also How to Guides on Service MarketPlace.

Lastly, SAP TechEd, https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/sapteched, is offered in four locations throughout the world. Many sessions are given on MDM by SAP Consultants as well as customers. Alot can be learned here especially if you have some basic knowledge of the product.

All of these resources would be valuable in learning MDM.

Sincerely,

Kristin
