comfortable learning MDM.

Hi Yeshwanth,

- MDM is a Hot area to work with as many company now are having problems with their master data becuse of the growing numbers of customers and vendor as wel; as other masters in every areas.Managing Master data is becoming an issue and so MDM has stepped in.There are many master data mangement tools in the market but as SAP MDM is an SAP developed and promoted Software it has an Edge over others .Besides SAP is devoping it better with every version.

So MDM prospects will definitelt be brighter in the near future.

.How to start MDM are there any Good institutes in Bangalore or Hyderabad?

- I am not very sure of training institudes for MDM,

However there are many online help available For MDM on help.sap.com

sdn.sap.com

and many others

Besides you do not need any prerequisites to learn MDM as it is a configuration driven tool.You can go through the four bible of MDM which will give you a good start in learning .

1) MDM Console

2) MDM Data manager

3) MDM import manger

4) MDM Syndicator

These guides are available on service market place ,the latset vs.

How will be future for MDM ?

- To be honest MDM is now in its initial stages where it is trying to make a mark and come to the level of other stabilized Master data mangement tool.

but however mDM is growing and developing at a very fast rate.SAP is coming with a better and Improved vs everytime.

After SAP MDM vs 7.1 will be out MDM will highly stablized and then boom in the market.

If you wnat to enter this hot area you need to be prepared well inadvance.

so i feel its not a bad idea to start learning with MDm so taht when it hitrs the market you are the best in it.

Hope it helps
