After upgrading, what form of communication is necessary for SAP Master Data Governance integration?

In the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) integration following an upgrade, service-oriented architecture (SOA) or service-based communication is essential. This approach leverages web services, allowing various applications and systems to communicate seamlessly over the network through standardized protocols.

Service-based communication offers several advantages, including scalability, flexibility in integrating diverse systems, and the ability to implement modular architectures that can evolve over time. Using service-based methodologies, SAP MDG can efficiently interact with other systems, exchange data in real-time, and leverage functionalities like data validation and error handling.

The other forms of communication, such as file-based systems and direct database access, may introduce limitations and potential issues like data inconsistency, difficulty in managing data changes, and increased complexity in maintenance. Human intervention for data transfer may significantly slow down processes and lead to higher error rates, which is not ideal for a streamlined and efficient governance process. Thus, service-/SOA-based communication is the optimal choice for ensuring robust integration capabilities in SAP MDG following an upgrade.
