How should I choose an SAP MDG deployment landscape?
Use SAP’s deployment recommendations to compare MDG landscape options at a high level, then choose between a separate hub or co-deployment based on whether you have a central ERP/S/4HANA system, how many local systems you have, and your business, IT, cost, security, performance, and innovation requirements.

SAP’s deployment recommendations help you evaluate high-level SAP Master Data Governance landscape options. The guidance is based on SAP MDG 9.2 and SAP MDG on SAP S/4HANA 2023, excludes Federated Master Data Governance, and uses the ratings General Recommendation, Reasonable Alternative, and Possible Exception to compare deployment patterns. The final choice should still be made against your business, IT, operational, cost, security, performance, scalability, legal, SLA, platform, architectural, and innovation needs.
Process flow
- Use the source ratings to compare MDG landscape options at a high level.
- Check whether the landscape has a central ERP/S/4HANA system or only local systems.
- If there is no central system, evaluate Landscape Scenario I.
- If there is a single ERP/S/4HANA system, evaluate Landscape Scenario II.
- Compare separate hub versus co-deployment based on governance scope, innovation needs, system-of-record design, and replication effort.
- Apply General Recommendation, Reasonable Alternative, and Possible Exception as decision support, not as a substitute for customer-specific assessment.
