SDM gives you the tools to distribute cleansing across your steward team, set deadlines, track completion, and prevent new exceptions from forming all without burning anyone out.
When every steward is responsible for everything, nothing gets prioritised and exceptions accumulate in a shared pile no one wants to touch.
No visibility into progress
Without a structured system, you're chasing status updates manually. By the time you know something is stuck, the cleansing deadline has passed.
No prevention mechanism
You clean up exceptions, then new ones form because the validation rules aren't enforced at the point of entry. The backlog refills itself.
No defensible metrics
When leadership asks for a data quality update, you're building it from scratch in Excel. There's no single source of truth on quality status.
WHAT SDM GIVES YOU
Structured cleansing. Real oversight.
SDM transforms ad-hoc cleansing into a managed sprint cycle. You set the sprint scope, assign stewards to their field areas, and the system tracks every exception from open to resolved.
Sprint-based cycles with configurable deadlines
Automatic worklist assignment per steward per field
Exception trends across sprint cycles for reporting
Point-of-entry validation prevents new exceptions forming
Executive-ready data quality reports on demand
See what your sprint plan would look like.
In a Proof of Value, we map your steward team to SDM’s field ownership model and run a real exception analysis against your SAP data – so you can see the scope before you commit
