How does SAP facilitate the integration of MDG with cloud solutions?

SAP facilitates the integration of Master Data Governance (MDG) with cloud solutions primarily through APIs and predefined connectors. This approach allows seamless data exchange between on-premises MDG systems and various cloud applications, ensuring that master data remains consistent and up-to-date across different environments. The use of APIs enables real-time communication, allowing businesses to leverage the capabilities of both on-premises and cloud solutions, enhancing flexibility and responsiveness.

APIs and predefined connectors facilitate not only data integration but also simplify the implementation process, reducing the complexity associated with data management across multiple systems. This interoperability is crucial for organizations that operate in hybrid landscapes, where both cloud and on-premises solutions coexist.

While cloud-only solutions may exist, they do not directly address the integration aspect in the context of MDG with existing systems. The installation of local software would contradict the idea of cloud integration, as it focuses more on on-premises solutions rather than facilitating hybrid environments. Additionally, increasing hardware requirements is irrelevant in the context of cloud integration, as cloud solutions typically aim to minimize local hardware dependency.
