A REVOLUTIONARY IN-SAP TOOL THAT CLEANS YOUR DATA
In-built data management that’s simple, affordable + sustainable
THE DIRTY
DATA DILEMMA
On average, dirty data - data that is inaccurate, incomplete or inconsistent - costs a business 15% to 25% of revenue, and the US economy over $3 trillion annually. The truth is, many tools can identify the source of your dirty data, but few can actually fix the problem.
As SAP data specialists and official Build Partners, we realised that our clients needed a solution within the SAP framework that identified their data challenges and solved them simply, affordably and permanently.
So we built one.

HOW IT WORKS
Fix What’s Dirty
Reporting
SDM generates an exception report that identifies and flags all poor-quality data across your SAP system. This highlights exactly where your challenges lie, providing a road-map to achieving high-quality data.
Cleansing
Data errors can be resolved systematically, providing you with the flexibility to select which flagged areas of concern you’d like to resolve by order of priority. This ensures a measurable and monitorable cleansing process.
