Simple Master Data Management – Guaranteed

As a specialist in hazardous materials storage and handling, work safety and industry requirements, DENIOS has a portfolio of over 10,000 products.
This means a high volume of master data concerning products, suppliers, customers and employees in SAP that needs to be maintained efficiently. To cleanse the master data that have accumulated over the years, simplify data maintenance and improve data quality, the East-Westphalian company opted for the NTT DATA Business Solutions solution it.mds – it.master data simplified. DENIOS brings safety to plants, while NTT DATA Business Solutions brings security to master data management.

Master Data Management across All Sites

At DENIOS, master data are used by many users across different departments and areas for a variety of purposes. With every new user and every new product, the likelihood of errors occurring and data quality deteriorating increases. The more integrated a system environment (processes, departments), the faster these errors will spread in the ERP system and, in turn, across the company. To facilitate the simple maintenance of master data objects within an SAP system across all sites (data distribution), DENIOS opted for it.mds. The significant simplification of creation and maintenance processes by means of rules, process profiles and dependencies improves data quality. What’s more, the reduction in the number of fields that need to be maintained due to the division into local and global data delivers considerable time savings. Integrated workflow functionalities also enable the maintenance of all relevant data across different departments and sites to be bundled with it.mds.

Simplified and Automated

it.mds prompts users at DENIOS to carry out disciplined data maintenance, thereby ensuring data integrity. This has significantly improved process
reliability in master data creation and maintenance, while at the same time reducing the error rate. Integrated workflows ensure the complete and
correct maintenance of various master data at DENIOS.

Quality and Consistency

NTT DATA Business Solutions provided intensive coaching to support DENIOS with rule definition as well as with the maintenance and administration of rules and
processes. This continuous process support was part of the NTT DATA Business Solutions project methodology for introducing it.mds, which focuses on close
collaboration between DENIOS and NTT DATA Business Solutions. With it.mds, DENIOS benefits from the much simpler, automated creation of new master data
and the comprehensive cleansing of existing material in SAP. There are also clear definitions of responsibilities, meaning that the data quality
remains consistently high. A comprehensive set of rules is managed and monitored by a central unit at DENIOS, while the management of master data takes place locally thanks to workflows.
