ASCOT, BERKSHIRE, UK, August 1, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ER/Studio and Silwood Technology announce that their market-leading products deliver an answer to the challenge of facilitating rapid and accurate ingestion of relevant SAP ERP metadata by Microsoft Purview. The combined solution allows data professionals to take control of the process of delivering trusted metadata from SAP into Microsoft Purview for the governance of data assets and enhancing enterprise data management.
Microsoft Purview provides a comprehensive range of data governance, management, and compliance solutions to help businesses manage their data across on-premises, multi-cloud, and SaaS environments. With advanced data discovery, classification, and protection capabilities, Microsoft Purview enables organizations to effectively meet regulatory requirements and secure their data assets.
For SAP customers who have implemented SAP’s ERP applications, SAP S/4HANA and SAP ECC etc., they represent a critical source of data and content for enterprise data catalog and governance projects. However, they also present significant challenges which can hinder, or even prevent, their use in data catalogs unless addressed effectively.
These challenges include:
* Large and Complex Data Model: With around 100,000 tables that must be analyzed, sub-setted, and curated for use in Microsoft Purview.
* Opaque Technical Naming: Data objects have technical names without business context available in the database.
* Lack of Defined Relationships: No relationships are defined between tables in the database, making it virtually impossible to understand the intricacies of the data model.
SAP customers who are considering or implementing Microsoft Purview can take advantage of the capabilities of Safyr, which provides access to the meaningful business metadata in SAP together with the ability to discover and subset the key data assets required before curating them ready for use as fully populated models in ER/Studio.
Commenting on how SAP customers can gain more value from Microsoft Purview; Roland Bullivant, Sales and Marketing Director of Silwood Technology said “Silwood Technology is delighted to be working with Idera to enable faster delivery of SAP ERP metadata for Microsoft Purview, This collaboration will empower Purview customers to take advantage of the integration between Safyr and ER/Studio, realizing the opportunities Purview offers for enhanced enterprise data governance and management by incorporating SAP metadata more quickly, easily, and accurately.”
