SDM embeds directly into your existing SAP landscape. No new platforms to procure, integrate, or maintain. Your team manages it like any other SAP component.
No. SDM deploys as a standard SAP transport. It uses existing SAP infrastructure BRFplus, Standard Workflow, ABAP with nothing external to integrate.
"Who maintains it after go-live?"
Your existing BASIS and Data Analyst team. SDM is configured through standard SAP tables and BRFplus, no proprietary tooling. SDM Professional Support for Rule building.
"What's the risk to production?"
SDM is additive, it layers governance on top of standard SAP transactions without modifying core objects. Transport-based deployment follows your existing change management process.
"Do we need to train the whole organisation?"
No additional training for end users. SDM surfaces inside the SAP screens your teams already work in. Stewards see governance controls in context, no new system to learn.
