SAP MDG Audits
Know where you stand before it’s too late
Implementing SAP Master Data Governance is complex. If your project has stalled, is underdelivering, or feels like a black box, an SAP MDG Audit will give you clarity and control.
Alluvion helps companies assess their current SAP MDG setup, understand the root causes of failure, and define a path forward. Our audits are fast, focused, and pragmatic.
Who are SAP MDG audits for?
- Companies already working with SAP MDG but not seeing results
- Teams struggling to set up SAP MDG and running out of time
- Projects where deadlines are at risk due to lack of progress or system issues
- CIOs or Programme Managers needing independent validation and a recovery roadmap
If your SAP MDG project is drifting, the audit is the first step to getting it back on track.
What you get in an SAP MDG audit
We assess your SAP MDG setup across four dimensions: People, Processes, Data, and Tools. We provide a clear link to business impact and project risks. In a matter of weeks, we provide:
We use a proven Master Data Maturity Model to pinpoint where your organisation currently stands and where it needs to go.
We investigate custom code, architecture, change request logic, and key workflows. We identify blockers, poor practices, and quick wins.
We assess organisational setup, accountability, and process clarity, often the root cause of failure.
We highlight misconfigurations, broken logic, custom developments gone wrong, and underused standard SAP MDG features.
We deliver a short-term fix plan and longer-term strategic guidance, aligned with your business goals and rollout needs.
Common audit findings
Our audits uncover recurring issues across struggling SAP MDG projects:
- SAP MDG is used as a data entry tool, not a governance platform
- Ownership of master data is unclear: processes exist but are not followed
- Custom code is deeply embedded and undocumented
- CR workflows are over-engineered, leading to delays and bottlenecks
- Vendors and materials are managed manually outside of SAP MDG
- Business rules are missing or scattered
- Tool usability is low, and end-user adoption is poor
- There is no central view or traceability of changes
What happens after the audit?
You decide how to proceed. Many clients continue with us into stabilization and redesign. But the audit itself stands on its own: clear, detailed, and valuable.
“After the audit, we finally had a complete picture. It showed exactly where things were stuck and what to do first.”

Sample audit outcomes
Rotarex
Inherited a highly customized SAP MDG system with poor usability and no visibility on workflows. The audit exposed dozens of blocking issues, from derivation failures to inconsistent status logic. Based on our findings, they launched a phased recovery and redesign.
Nyrstar
SAP MDG was not used consistently across sites. Ownership was unclear, and most processes ran manually. Our audit clarified maturity levels, mapped strategic goals, and shaped a modular rollout plan with quick wins and long-term impact.
