Hi Vijay,
I am not sure of how many companies implemented MDM in India. However the future of MDM is very bright as SAP is focussing a lot on this product and everyone is expecting good projects with the release of the latest version of MDM 7.1.
This new release will be execellent in handling many things which current versions do not support. You can go through about the new version of MDM in the link below:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0d0b0e7-f144-2b10-17a2-982103c96ac0 - SAP NetWeaver MDM 7.1 Preview - New Features at Glance
With companies approaching towards ESOA, MDM will become the base for it. Hence the future of MDM seems to be very bright.

Hello Michelle,
First of all, MDM Admin UI and SRM-MDM Search UI both are in same sca file (SRMMDMCAT20SP03P05.sca) and there is another sca file with API and MDM Connector (MDMJAVAAPI06_2.sca).
Remember that files name might be change as per the business content version.
So there are two file which you need to deploy. You can deploy these two file on any Web Application Server (WAS 7.0 and Above) using Software Deployment Manager (SDM) of SAP NW AS J2EE installation.
For further information about these files, you can refer the SAP Note- 1057316 -- SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0 - Installation & Configuration.
For checking the successful deployment of these SCA files, you can check with the mentioned below URL:
http://ServerName:PortNo/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcmdmsrmcat~uisearch/MDM_SRM_UI_App
go to the above link, try to connect with the MDM Server which you have installed. After connecting the MDM Server, Choose your SRM-MDM Catalog repository and try to connect with the user as "Master" with blank pwd. If you are able to login in the repository, it means you have successfully deployed the correct sca files.
For further details regarding this scenario, you can refer my answer in below thread:
installion of SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0
I hope, this will clear your doubt.If you need further help, Kindly update us.

SAP MDM is master data management server. as in our SAP R/3 Customer Master, Vendor Master, Material Master, Etc. These Master Data we are maintained in conventional way means individual SAP R/3 and non-SAP itself.
However, these Master Data can store in single point source of truth and then distribute to all after consolidating the master record data. First, we will get the all Master Data (ex. Customer, Material, Etc) from Different sources (ex. SAP or non-SAP or DB) using the scenario
SAPR/3---> XI--> MDM (Outbound to SAP R/3 or Inbound to MDM)
Second,
Then we will do the all the necessary things in MDM.
Third, we will syndicate/ distribute the consolidated Master Data to all the Systems using this scenario
MDM-> XI-> SAPR/3 (Outbound to MDM or Inbound to SAP R/3)
what is acheived out here is data uniqueness acorss the system. this is one real world scenario

You comment regarding 'changing the nature of authorisations' is an interesting one because as you have already pointed out and is consistent with the way the product(s) work; you cannot change any more than your SAP credentials allow you to change.
All that said, quite rightly; the idea of being able to perform mass changes on ANYTHING in your SAP system of record should not be taken lightly and due diligence should be applied in determining who should have such tools and under what circumstances they should be used. Design and testing in QA or pre-production environments is an absolute must and this discipline should be applied with the same level of enthusiasm and commitment as you would any objects that you develop for productive use even if they are LSMW or regular BDC's.
The product supports a controlled release approach if implemented in a particular way, using centralised license management and workflow controls around the scripts and data templates and workbooks. Scripts can be restricted to particular SAP instances, particular volumes of data, particular transactions, particular times of day/week/month for execution.
Additionally you have two types of licenses, author/developer licenses and runner-only licenses. This avoids you landing up in a situation where inexperienced users can create their own automation objects, in such circumstances these users would typically only be given a runner license.
Some customers don't choose to use this governance and compliance approach though and choose to buy only the authoring tools, accordingly they essentially leave the door open to the creation of potentially harmful objects.
Again exhaustive testing is always recommended. WIth over 1,000 customers globally there are plenty of ASUG member references and you should actually be able to get referrals to existing customers who can tell you how they have introduced and manage controls around the use of the products.

Master Data Governance & Implementation of SAP Master Data Objects

I would like to get hold of a case study on Master Data Strategy Governance Framework and Implementation of governance processes for Master Data Objects acrosss all SAP Modules. Governance processes do not have to use SAP MDM for master data management.
If any one in SAP community has implemented Master data governance, I would like to benefit from their experience and hence the request

What is master data management

i want know clearly abut MDM in SAP.

Hi naresh reddy ,
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.

Literature about Master Data Management

Hi,
I am currently writing my diploma thesis about Master Data Management. Therefore I am looking for literature (Books, Papers, Conference-reviews) about this topic: SAP specific and more general. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Stefan

For public overview information, please check sap.com, for example: http://www.sap.com/platform/netweaver/components/mdm/index.epx.
A very good overview on SAP NetWeaver MDM and Data Unification (including interviews and flash demos)is provided at http://www.sap.com/germany/campaigns/it-practices/billboard.htm. Select "Data Unification" and go through the contents provided therein.

Looking for Master Data Management in non-Netweaver environmets

Hello
Based on SAP literature I have read on Master data Management (MDM) ,it is a component of Netweaver product family.
Currently we are running SAP R/3 Enterprise edition(4.7C) and wish to have some form of MDM to maintain a consistent view of master data across different landscapes. Theses landscapes span different geographic and administrative areas.
Is there any product either from SAP or third-party vendors which can offer a solution for MDM in environments such as ours that have not yet switched to Netweaver.
Kind Regards
Mohammad

Hi,
SAP definately offers SAP-MDM soultion. Yet its part of netweaver family but you can buy and install in seperately if you wish not to switch to Netweaver.
Its a myth that SAP-MDM is only for SAP products.
There are multiple input options available and hence it can work for you.
Please suggest if need more info.
Also you can post more questions into SAP-MDM forum.
Hope this helps,
