The Challenge
Queensland Health is utilizing SAP S/4HANA and collaborated directly with SAP to enhance its system. However, recognizing the importance of a comprehensive strategy to implement SAP Master Data Governance (MDG), SAP enlisted Auritas' expertise to contribute to the project.
In the healthcare industry, strict adherence to regulations and safeguarding sensitive data are paramount. In the absence of a robust data governance framework, organizations risk operating with unoptimized processes that are not aligned with business objectives, jeopardizing both compliance and security.
The Solution
The SAP team allowed Auritas to review previously conducted assessments and conduct their own evaluations to identify specific issues and opportunities for standardization within the organization's data landscape. These assessments served as the foundational basis for the implementation of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG), a comprehensive system designed to streamline data management and enhance data quality.
The introduction of SAP MDG enabled the organization to centralize master data, enforce standardized processes, and ensure data integrity. This transformation not only resolved historical data governance issues but also facilitated more accurate business analytics and insights, allowing the organization to harness the full potential of its data assets effectively.
Beyond the implementation, Queensland Health sustained its collaboration with Auritas through its Application Management Services (AMS) AuriCare. This enduring partnership allowed Auritas to address any issues arising from the implementation, encompassing both data-related concerns and the SAP MDG tool itself.
The overarching objective of this enduring partnership was to ensure the proper functioning of the tool post-implementation while also validating that the established rules and processes were achieving their intended goals.
