Master data S1/E5: Data Quality for Digitalization

Why High Data Quality is Essential for Digitalization?

It’s all about the right perspective when answering the question:

Why Master Data Quality?

Just observe the daily operations in the purchasing and logistics departments.
How much "reactive effort" occurs daily due to incorrect or incomplete information?
And was the correction result also updated in the system... or did the same issues simply repeat the next day?

On top: Your dashboards suddenly feature vibrant, qualified, validated real data!... and no more "approximation recommendations" of reality! 
What else supports you in this?

Process mining!
Currently, the leading use of process mining is within a dashboard in Microsoft Power BI. This tool analyzes all digital processes related to a specific transaction, such as the creation of item master data. It then visualizes the actual current process and shows you where there are bottlenecks, along with the underlying causes.
Place three dashboards side by side: item master data creation, procurement process, and intralogistics process. Over the time series, you should be able to see that with a continuous improvement in item master data creation, the efficiency of the other two processes also increases, albeit with a slight delay!
How many hours of efficiency improvement do the purchasing and logistics departments (and also accounting!) add up to? Convert that into €?
Is there also support for the actors of the change process?
Yes! The direct visualization of key figures and other information in the layout of your materials management in Microsoft Teams!
Nowadays, these change processes should be digitally supported in Microsoft Teams workgroups. So make sure to report on time, automatically, and digitally in Microsoft Teams!
PS: Services can also be designed in the ERP system, and you should take a look at this as well.
