In the evolving data-driven business landscape, organizations require seamless integration between data governance, data quality, and advanced data processing platforms. The SAP Data Management Suite offers a comprehensive set of tools for managing enterprise data efficiently, while SAP Data Intelligence delivers powerful capabilities to orchestrate, integrate, and process data across hybrid and distributed environments.
Integrating SAP Data Management Suite with SAP Data Intelligence creates a unified, end-to-end data management ecosystem that empowers enterprises to harness high-quality, governed data for advanced analytics, machine learning, and business intelligence.
SAP Data Management Suite is a portfolio of integrated solutions focused on master data governance (SAP MDG), data quality (SAP Information Steward), data warehousing (SAP BW/4HANA), and data integration.
SAP Data Intelligence is a data orchestration platform designed to connect, discover, enrich, and manage data assets distributed across hybrid landscapes. It supports complex data pipelines, machine learning workflows, and real-time analytics.
SAP MDG and Information Steward within the Data Management Suite ensure that master data and metadata adhere to governance policies and maintain quality standards. SAP Data Intelligence consumes this trusted data for downstream analytics and ML processes, ensuring the integrity of data pipelines.
SAP Data Intelligence acts as the central hub for orchestrating data flows from diverse sources, including SAP MDG, SAP BW/4HANA, and external data lakes. Integration facilitates automated workflows that include data validation, cleansing, and enrichment as part of data processing pipelines.
Integration enables the synchronization of metadata and data lineage information between SAP Information Steward and SAP Data Intelligence, enhancing transparency and auditability across the data lifecycle.
By integrating master data and quality controls from SAP Data Management Suite, SAP Data Intelligence can deliver high-quality, well-governed datasets necessary for training robust machine learning models and advanced analytics.
