Введение
SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (SAP NW MDM) является компонентом группы продуктов SAP NetWeaver и используется как платформа для консолидации, очистки и синхронизации единого источника достоверных данных для основных данных в разнородной прикладной среде. Он позволяет распространять данные как внутри организации, так и во внешние приложения SAP и не-SAP. SAP MDM является ключевым компонентом, обеспечивающим архитектуру SAP, ориентированную на сервисы (Service Oriented Architecture). Типичная архитектура системы включает в себя один центральный сервер MDM, подключенный к клиентским системам через инфраструктуру SAP Exchange с использованием XML-документов, хотя возможно подключение и без использования SAP XI. Существует пять стандартных сценариев реализации:
SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (SAP NW MDM) is a component of SAP's NetWeaver product group and is used as a platform to consolidate, cleanse and synchronise a single version of the truth for master data within a heterogeneous application landscape. It has the ability to distribute internally and externally to SAP and non SAP applications. SAP MDM is a key enabler of SAP Service Oriented Architecture. Standard system architecture would consist of a single central MDM server connected to client systems through SAP Exchange Infrastructure using XML documents, although connectivity without SAP XI can also be achieved. There are five standard implementation scenarios:
Content Consolidation centralised cleansing, de duplication and consolidation, enabling key mapping and consolidated group reporting in SAP BI. No re distribution of cleansed data. Master Data Harmonisation as for Content Consolidation, plus re distribution of cleansed, consolidated master data. Central Master data management as for Master Data Harmonisation, but all master data is maintained in the central MDM system. No maintenance of master data occurs in the connected client systems. Rich Product Content Management Catalogue management and publishing. Uses elements of Content Consolidation to centrally store rich content (images, PDF files, video, sound etc.) together with standard content in order to produce product catalogues (web or print). Has standard adapters to export content to Desktop Publishing packages. Global Data Synchronization provides consistent trade item information exchange with retailers through data hubs (e. g. 1SYNC)
Some features (for example, workflow) require custom development out of the box to provide screens for end users to use.

История
В настоящее время SAP разрабатывает вторую итерацию программного обеспечения MDM. Из-за недостаточного внедрения первой версии, SAP изменил стратегию и в 2004 году приобрел небольшую компанию, специализирующуюся на PIM, под названием A2i. Этот программный код стал основой для текущей версии SAP MDM 5.5, и поэтому большинство аналитиков сейчас рассматривают SAP MDM скорее как PIM-решение, чем как универсальный продукт MDM. SAP NetWeaver MDM 7.1 был выпущен для предварительной поставки в ноябре 2008 года и для неограниченной поставки в мае 2009 года. Эта новая версия обладает расширенной технологической базой MDM для разработки готовых бизнес-сценариев и интеграции.
SAP is currently on its second iteration of MDM software. Facing limited adoption of its initial release, SAP changed direction and in 2004 purchased a small vendor in the PIM space called A2i. This code has become the basis for the currently shipping SAP MDM 5.5, and as such, most analysts consider SAP MDM to be more of a PIM than a general MDM product at this time. SAP NetWeaver MDM 7.1 was released in ramp up shipment in November 2008 and unrestricted shipment in May 2009. This new version has an enhanced MDM technology foundation to build pre packaged business scenarios and integration.
