How to move from Classic Mode to Cloud-Ready Mode in SAP Master Data Governance?
SAP MDG Classic Mode remains the broader, established option for Business Partner, Product, Financial data, and custom domains, while Cloud-Ready Mode in the source currently focuses on Business Partner and offers a Fiori-based, cloud-oriented governance experience. The recommended approach is phased adoption: assess scope gaps, compare UI/workflow differences, validate integrations and extensibility needs, and plan Classic + Cloud-Ready parallel operation where needed.
