FOR THE CDO

Beyond policies. Measurable accountability.

Data governance only works when it’s enforced at the point of entry, not written in a policy document. SDM creates field-level ownership with visible, trackable progress over time.

THE GOVERNANCE GAP

Where data quality actually breaks down

BEFORE SDM

Implicit governance

Rules live in people’s heads. Quality depends on individual skill and institutional memory. No visibility, no enforcement, no accountability.

THE GAP

Policies without controls

Governance frameworks exist on paper. But without technical enforcement, compliance is voluntary and inconsistent.

WITH SDM

Explicit, enforced governance

Rules embedded in SAP. Field ownership mapped to named stewards. Quality measured, tracked, and improving each sprint.

WHAT CHANGES

Governance that leaves a paper trail

SDM makes data quality visible at every level field, record, steward, and portfolio. For the first time, you can show exactly who owns what, what the quality status is, and how it’s changing over time.

A Proof of Value engagement maps SDM’s field ownership framework against a real SAP object from your environment, so you can show the board exactly what governance looks like in practice.
