Reference Data consists of standardized codes and classifications that provide context for Master Data—such as Country Codes, Material Groups, Units of Measure, Payment Terms, or Company Codes. While Master Data represents core business entities (customers, materials, suppliers), Reference Data defines the vocabulary used to describe and categorize them. Without harmonized Reference Data, Master Data governance cannot achieve its full potential.
Think of it like building a house: you wouldn't start with the roof. Reference Data forms the foundation upon which all Master Data sits. If your currencies, regions, units of measure, or company codes are inconsistent, your Master Data Governance project becomes fragile—like a house of cards. Harmonizing Reference Data first ensures a solid foundation for sustainable data governance.
Unlike solutions that provide only a toolkit and leave you alone, Itego RDM delivers all necessary components for immediate implementation: pre-built data models, rule-based workflows, adjustable UIs, migration tools, and replication capabilities. As a native SAP MDG Add-On, it seamlessly integrates with your existing SAP landscape and reuses proven MDG features.
Thanks to its pre-configured components and ready-to-use content, Itego RDM implementations are significantly faster than custom-built solutions. A focused implementation typically takes 2-4 months, depending on the number of reference data types and the complexity of your system landscape.
Absolutely. Itego RDM is designed as an SAP MDG Add-On and integrates seamlessly with existing MDG implementations. You can add Reference Data governance to your current Master Data governance without disrupting ongoing operations—in fact, it enhances your MDG investment by providing the missing foundation.
Itego RDM comes with pre-built support for hundreds of reference data types including Country Codes, Currencies, Payment Terms, Regions, Units of Measure, Material Groups, Company Codes, Plants, and many more. Additional custom reference data types can be easily added to meet your specific requirements.
