To solve complex information challenges, organizations can turn to the combined resources of Accenture and SAP, an alliance with a deep understanding of industry-specific master data management issues and a long history of delivery excellence. The alliance draws upon the strength of Accenture's market-leading SAP practice which develops and delivers SAP-based solutions; the key data management practices of Accenture Information Management Services (AIMS); and the master data excellence of the SAP MDM Data Engineering Group.

Master data management is an ongoing process, a journey in other words, rather than a brief initiative with a distinct endpoint. In the data management and architecture area, Accenture helps organizations assess the potential benefits and progressively implement master data management to consolidate, harmonize, and manage data centrally.

To accelerate progress, SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (SAP NW MDM) is a leading tool that supports the creation and ongoing management of master data. SAP NW MDM provides a unified master data services interface to all users and applications across an organization.
