Data governance is the exercise of authority and controls (Planning, Monitoring & Enforcement) over the management of data assets. At NTT DATA Business Solutions, governance functions guide how all other data management functions are performed to support your digital transformation.

We focus on ensuring that the governance of data contributes to generating considerable benefit and that costs stay low once the solution is implemented.

The Data Governance Services by NTT DATA Business Solutions support you in areas such as:

• Data Governance Structures
• Governance during data migrations
• Governing master data
• Policies, Standards & Procedures

Master (and reference) Data Management Services are the ongoing reconciliation and maintenance of master and reference data. At NTT DATA Business Solutions we deliver services that enable customers to simplify their governance and maintenance of master and reference data.

Tightly integrated with Data Architecture and Governance Services we support customers to:

• Rationalise and de-duplicate their master data
• Manage data from multiple sources to S/4 and other SAP applications during a migration

Data quality is synonymous with information quality and since poor data quality results in inaccurate information, poor business performance occurs. Data Quality Management is a critical support process for a wide range of requirements within an SAP context such as:

• Pre-cursor for a migration to a new target operating model
• Supporting a S/4HANA Conversion
• Cleaning out old data from SAP ECC
• Cleansing data for a data warehouse

Whether you are ‘getting fit’ for a conversion/transformation or optimising your SAP ECC because poor data is causing downstream issues, NTT DATA Business Solutions has a range of services enabling you to understand your data quality challenges in more detail.

One of the major functions for a digital transformation to a new business model is the migration of data from one or more old systems to the new landscape. At NTT DATA Business Solutions, our data migration services excel in supporting customers to get their data cleansed, mastered, governed and into the new landscape as swiftly and efficiently as possible. We offer a wide range of services that enable customers to right-size the migration needs such as:

• Provision of technologies and training
• Management of a blended customer/NTT DATA Business Solutions team
• Offshore migration factory
• Deployment of accelerators and frameworks for SAP

We focus on the coordination of data assets and the integration of solutions to ensure an agreed blueprint for data is in place. We also ensure co-ordination of unstructured/structured data to define and maintain specifications that:

• Express strategic data requirements
• Provide a standard common business vocabulary
• Provide appropriate business models for data
• Align SAP data configuration with wider data development requirements
• Align with enterprise strategy and business architecture

Data integration is a set of procedures, techniques and technologies used to design and build processes that extract, restructure, move and load data in real-time or batch. In large complex SAP solutions, this could involve movement of data from SAP SuccessFactors to S/4HANA, from S/4HANA to/from SAP Ariba and interaction with other systems external to the organisation.

Whatever your architectural approach, NTT DATA Business Solutions can support you to develop integration solutions for data transformation and movement using a wide range of SAP technologies such as:

• SAP PI/PO
• SAP Data Services
• SAP HANA Smart Data Integration
• SAP Cloud Platform
• SAP Data Hub

Document & Content Management is the control over capture, storage, access and use of data and information in an unstructured format.
