Hi SasikanthReddy M,

can someone describe the product history (SAP MDM) and evolution

This is what one of the blog says on this:

MDM product was available for the last few years and its last version was MDM 3.0 this product was ABAP based tool with very strong capabilities in large scale data integration and consolidation between SAP systems, the problem with this tool was that it was too complicated for implementation and less strong in the client side.

In order to make it better SAP had to decide whether to invest more development efforts or buy some other product that will be able to provide the missing capabilities, during the quest for this tool SAP found this Israeli company called A2I and their product called xCat. Even though the xCat product was intended for product catalog management SAP identified the grate potential in it both from conceptual and technical point of view and decided to buy it and make it SAPu2019s MDM product.

At first this product was called MDME (MDM Extension) but now it was announced as the MDM official tool by SAP. The MDM5.5 tools is a very sophisticated tool from one hand providing great Data Modeling , data consolidation, fast data extraction , and search capabilities, and from the other hand it is very simple for installation and implementation (both from infrastructure point of view and end user experience). So now SAP has a very strong offering in the MDM world:

Now the lastest version of MDm is MDM 5.5 SP06.

Hope it helps.

*Kindly reward points if helpful
