What is Data Governance in ERP?

What does Data Governance in ERP mean?

Data Governance in ERP refers to the framework of policies, processes, and standards that ensure data within enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems is accurate, consistent, secure, and compliant.

Without proper governance, ERP systems often suffer from duplicate records, conflicting data entries, and compliance risks. Strong governance ensures reliable operations and supports informed decision-making across finance, procurement, maintenance, and supply chain processes.

Efficiency – reduces duplication and errors, improving Procurement Data Quality and inventory management.
