DATA CLEANSING

Structured sprints. Permanent improvement.

SDM turns an overwhelming exception backlog into a sprint-based programme — with clear ownership, deadlines, and progress tracking that compounds over time.

THE SPRINT CYCLE

How cleansing actually gets done.

SDM enhances the standard SAP screen — it doesn’t replace it. Your stewards see exactly what they’re responsible for, with governance controls surfaced right where they work.

Exception identification

SDM's automated monitoring identifies poor-quality records against your configured rules, flagging them as exceptions before they cause downstream problems.

Sprint scope and assignment

The Master Data Manager defines the sprint scope and SDM auto-assigns exceptions to the relevant stewards based on field ownership.

Steward-led resolution

Each steward works from their personal worklist. SDM provides smart suggestions and mass update tools to make resolution efficient.

Progress tracking and reporting

Completion rates are visible in real time. At sprint close, the exception trend is recorded, showing quality improvement over successive cycles.

CAPABILITIES

Tools that make cleansing sustainable.

Auto-assigned worklists

No manual triage. Exceptions are automatically routed to the steward who owns that field, ready when they log in.

Smart
suggestions

Where the business rules allow derivation, SDM suggests the correct value, reducing the manual lookup burden on stewards.

Mass
update

When a systemic error affects many records, stewards can correct them in bulk rather than one at a time, without leaving SAP.

Sprint trend
reporting

Each sprint's exception count is recorded. Over time, the trend line shows whether governance is improving or not.

How big is your exception backlog?

In a Proof of Value, we run SDM’s exception analysis against a real object in your SAP system — so you get an accurate picture of your current quality exposure before committing.
