Perfetti van Melle is one of the world’s largest manufacturers and distributors of confectionery and chewing gum. They create imaginative products and brands that are enjoyed in over 150 countries.
Recognizing the increasing significance of data governance after consolidating various business units into a single SAP S/4HANA infrastructure, Perfetti van Melle has made the strategic decision to enhance its data governance practices.
In my role as Data Governance Analyst I’m responsible for implementing proper data governance within Perfetti van Melle.
The Material Master Data team within Astellas is facing a major challenge. With the implementation of a new Global SAP-S/4HANA environment the role of the EMEA Material Master Data Team is moving from a Regional to a Global role. With big historical regional differences in procedures, aligning data is not always easy. Good documentation will support a better understanding of Master Data Governance and Master Data Management.
In my role as Document Writer I’m using my experience in Master Data Management to challenge the organization to think about their processes before start writing a document.
