STEP Data Management Course
STEP DATA MANAGEMENT
Managing Master Data throughout the Information Life Cycle.
WHAT IS STEP?
STEP is a Multidomain Master Data Management platform that integrates multiple disparate systems in your company by streamlining the process of aggregating and consolidating information around your products, customers, suppliers, employees, assets, location and reference data from multiple sources and formats, connecting that information to derive actionable insights, and publishing that information to backend systems and/or to online and offline channels.
This enterprise capable platform provides a common set of functionality allowing you to work from one, seamless platform which makes your work more predictable, significantly lowering costs and gives you quicker time-to-value when implementing and maintaining a master data project.
This course is targeted towards application consultants or other roles responsible for transforming the conceptual design of a STEP solution into a functional configuration.
