Reltio Connected Data Platform is well suited for global implementation where the benefits of cloud native SaaS needs to be leveraged over on-prem traditional solutions. For DQ focused MDM solutions, Reltio provides DQ integration patterns that may not always fit into the advanced use case of users.
When configuring and testing new plant and warehouse for our client in automotive industry we had to test warehouse business processes, for that we needed Mater data and transactional data. And We levied SAP Master Data Governance to import all the master data including Materials, Customer, vendor, work center, Bill of Material among other datas. Our inhouse SAP Master Data Governance team, tested the data accuracy, ran simulation before finally loading the data into SAP. There were many failed master data which could not be loaded because of missing prequisites like Plants, storage locations. We corrected them in SAP Master Data Governance system by configuring plants, slocs and adding them to the material.
Reltio API allows us to build interfaces with ease.
The beauty of Reltio is Consolidation at any time we can review data at field level from different sources (crosswalk) and configure match merge and survivorship rules to define operational value and approved data can be redistributed to the upstream or downstream systems.
With Central data governance, enrichment with D&B allows creating trusted data and distribute to various systems.
UI does not support creating different profile views for an entity based upon customer types as example however we can achieve this by using sub entities ( sub classes). This feature is useful if we are creating profiles in reltio manually.
Manual export every time we need to pick entities, fields etc does not allow to save templates. workaround is using postman creating predefined API with selected fields, filters and trigger export.
UI does not support data masking which needed while we maintain PII information
Potential Matches doesnt auto sort on confidence code so users need to manually select deselect relevant entities which is time consuming and painful process however this issue is when we have more than 4 entities as potential matches.
It would be beneficial if UI displays data related errors (if any) between Reltio and SFDC.
The learning curve is steep, and I think the build procedures might be challenging at first because we are transitioning from a non-systematic data management perspective.
My team and I believe that its integration into learning new capabilities is complicated and limiting in terms of customizing reports.
MDG has proven to work and to bring results once implemented with the right approach, right engagement and sponsorship. Given that it is a very good tool to govern and control master data. Mainly if your company runs SAP systems which there will be a very straight forward integration, not needing any additional middleware or technologies.
Upto 8 1. Powerful Features: It offers a wide range of powerful features. 2. Complex Data Management: It helps companies to comply with large and complex regulation and audit processes. Missing 2: 1. Less interactive user interface or less modern look. 2. Limited integration with other tools
SAP provides great support for Master Data Governance (MDG). They work with us when we are faced with issues in standard solutions. SAP has a great set of Fiori tools that can be used for a better user experience. The issue with SAP is their web dynpro UI screens and they need to provide better support for performance issues that customers face.
We felt Reltio had the best user experience, with flexible graph database technology and a customizable UI. Also important was the ability to look at historical snapshots to see relationships as they existed as of a previous date.
Although Power BI has a cleaner interface, the functionality in terms of making sense of complex data has to go to SAP Master Data Governance. Any tool can be learned, so although there is a learning curve to SAP Master Data Governance, their online resources are a great guide.
We can make smarter decisions, enabling advanced scenarios like as AI/ML for predictive maintenance of instances, and data standardization decreases application build time, reporting, and connectors.
The quality of the data has been increased, and the consistency of custom functionality has been assured.
