Overview
Stridely Solutions partnered with a leading manufacturer in the agriculture and industrial sector to implement SAP MDG (Master Data Governance). This implementation resulted in significant benefits for the business, including enhanced operational efficiency, reliable data quality, improved compliance, and centralized governance. It enabled better decision-making, increased data accuracy, and lower operational costs.
The Client
The client is a leading manufacturer in the industrial and agricultural sectors. Headquartered in the USA, the company’s broad portfolio of products and services delivers to over 40,000 customers across 100+ locations worldwide.
Challenges
The client’s rapid growth outpaced their existing data management solution, which relied heavily on manual processes. Key challenges included:
- Managed master data across multiple applications, leading to time-consuming and repetitive processes.
- Data duplication and inaccuracies caused inefficiencies and hindered operational efficiency.
- Manual data governance consumed resources and reduced productivity.
- Relied on outdated systems and lacked process documentation, leading to over-dependence on institutional knowledge.
- Multiple data entries across systems increased redundancy and error risks, slowing down decision-making and reporting.
- Frequent duplication and inaccurate data resulted in significant technical debt and manual verification efforts.
- Absence of a governance workflow led to inconsistent master data structures and reporting, with no system to track or approve new entries.

Stridely Solutions implemented SAP MDG for the client, providing them with centralized data control and improving data consistency across the system.
- Streamlined data entry for materials, customers, and suppliers into one system, reducing redundancy and improving accuracy.
- Consolidated and cleaned up business data, minimizing technical debt and enhancing scalability.

- Developed custom features like key mapping, alphanumeric solutions, and enhanced validation mechanisms to improve data accuracy and quality.
- Automated workflows for real-time data approval and tracking, improving efficiency and reducing manual intervention.
- Enhanced reporting and analytics capabilities for better decision-making and strategic planning.
Results

The Implementation of SAP MDG transformed the client’s master data management. By centralizing and automating data processes, the client achieved greater accuracy, operational efficiency, and scalability.
