\n

To\u00a0support\u00a0the\u00a0<\/span>compliance requirements<\/span><\/a> and rigorous data needs ahead of their first commercial drug product, a life sciences client engaged Clarkston to design and implement a comprehensive Master Data Governance program. The key goal was to create a fit-for-purpose\u00a0<\/span>master data governance<\/span><\/a>\u00a0program that would enable the client to\u00a0efficiently and accurately manage their master data assets\u00a0across key systems\u00a0starting with\u00a0their\u00a0<\/span>soon-to-launch SAP\u00a0platform<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u00a0hybrid organizational model\u00a0Clarkston recommended\u00a0balanced\u00a0centralized oversight\u00a0with decentralized ownership.\u00a0The\u00a0Clarkston design included\u00a0policies and frameworks to create the structure for the implementation; clear\u00a0<\/span>roles and responsibilities<\/span><\/a>\u00a0for who would be needed to implement the governance program on day 1 and ongoing; a roadmap to enable future evolution of the program;\u00a0a\u00a0tool to enable tactical, day-to-day management of their master data assets in SAP; and clarity for how to evolve the program over time\u00a0to include additional systems and domains.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Through this partnership, the client gained not only a comprehensive and executable governance program aligned with\u00a0their\u00a0SAP implementation, but also a roadmap to guide continued evolution of their data capabilities, enhancing\u00a0<\/span>data integrity<\/span><\/a>, compliance readiness, and organizational confidence in master data as a trusted enterprise asset.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
