SAP Master Data Governance vs. Syndigo Content Experience Hub

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.

Well suited for quick setup and ease of use. Synidgo does not have the ability to maintain cross-references such as family items, accessories, replacement parts, and collections. Implementing and maintaining custom taxonomies is challenging and time-consuming, I prefer using an in-house PIM. Syndigo does have the ability to identify discrepancies that do not meet standards.

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.

Similar offering to Salsify. I think Salsify has better digital shelf analytics. I think both do a good job rating overall content health at the SKU level. I think Syndigo has a more integrated API into various retailers and distributors. Both are quick and easy to set up and use. Syndigo does not have cross-reference ability.
