Data Governance - Business-Ready Data Every Day™
There are four models of Data Governance for SAP. Do you know which one is right for you?
1. No Data Governance -
Every user
is trusted to enter in their data
accurately and on time, all while
minding corporate standard operating
procedures and compliance statutes.
2. Center of Excellence (COE) -
A central group is tasked with
the responsibility of creating and
verifying all data requests before
posting them to SAP systems.
3. Passive Data Governance™
-
Users enter data into the SAP
system, and then a toolset or
reporting mechanism iteratively
identifies data-related errors
within that system. Errors are
automatically reported back to their
authors for correction and quality
metrics are delivered to management.
4. Active Data Governance™
-
All data required to support the
configured SAP business process is
collected prior to posting into the
SAP system and validated
automatically through a
collaborative environment. This
eliminates the possibility of
business-process interruptions due
to omissions, duplicates,
consistency and content errors, or a
lack of standards.
DataDialysis® is our solution for establishing both actionable data quality metrics and the process for resolving master data inconsistencies, gaps and errors in your SAP system.
This solution provides for a rapid deployment of our Passive Data Governance model. From two to eight weeks, depending on your system landscape, BackOffice Associates can implement, train and fully deploy a proven, easy to use and maintain Passive Data Governance system for SAP. This system includes over 400 pre-configured reports for your SAP system to quickly provide remediation for your master data issues and value out of your SAP system.

Business-Ready Data Every Day™
BackOffice Associates coined the phrases Passive Data Governance™ and Active Data Governance™.
These are well documented fully understood models for moving forward in a defined path for your SAP data
governance needs. These terms are beginning to be used by the experts in the analyst communities and, of
course, our competitors. However, if you are interested in delivery of these models, you will need to work
with BackOffice Associates. We have built both models, which are fully SAP enabled platforms, to deliver
the model of Data Governance you need for effective operations of SAP. While the rest of the industry is
still talking about and trying to understand Data Governance, BackOffice is delivering these models for
SAP customers worldwide.
