SAP SE announced on Tuesday updates to its enterprise information management (EIM) portfolio that help reduce data landscape complexities by expanding data connectivity and source support as well as providing an integrated and simplified data management experience.
Updates to the SAP Master Data Governance and SAP Agile Data Preparation applications and SAP Data Services software deliver modern and comprehensive capabilities to help enterprises power the entire data governance and data management cycle with ease, trust and security.
SAP Master Data Governance on SAP S/4HANA 1809 includes innovations across key disciplines such as data consolidation, central governance, mass processing, process analytics and master data quality management to help companies clean and manage master data enterprise-wide.
