Data Governance - Business-Ready Data™ Everyday

There are three models of Data Governance for SAP. Do you know which one is right for you?

BackOffice Associates coined the phrases Passive Data Governance™ and Active Data Governance™. These are well documented fully understood models for moving forward in a defined path for your SAP data governance needs. These terms are beginning to be used by the experts in the analyst communities and, of course, our competitors. However, if you are interested in delivery of these models, you will need to work with BackOffice Associates. We have built both models, which are fully SAP enabled platforms, to deliver the model of Data Governance you need for effective operations of SAP. While the rest of the industry is still talking about and trying to understand Data Governance, BackOffice is delivering these models for SAP customers worldwide.

Passive Data Governance:

DataDialysis® is our solution for establishing both actionable data quality metrics and the process for resolving master data inconsistencies, gaps and errors in your SAP system.

This solution provides for a rapid deployment of our Passive Data Governance model. From two to eight weeks, depending on your system landscape, BackOffice Associates can implement, train and fully deploy a proven, easy to use and maintain Passive Data Governance system for SAP. This system includes over 400 pre-configured reports for your SAP system to quickly provide remediation for your master data issues and value out of your SAP system.

Active Data Governance:

The BackOffice Associates suite of Active Data Governance applications (cApps)™ will enable you to proactively manage the creation of Master Data for SAP. Our Active Data Governance model creates a fire wall for the creation of Master Data into SAP. This model contains a secure web based front end to SAP that is scenario based, task and role based and fully integrated with workflow for ease of use.

The Active Data Governance model was developed on our standard easy to use flexible SAP certified platform utilizing 12 years of SAP data quality experience. BackOffice Associates has managed some of the world’s largest SAP data migrations for the Global Fortune 100 corporations. As a result of our extensive experience with SAP implementations, we have a profound understanding of what it takes to get your data Business Ready for SAP.
