The SAP Master Data Governance product portfolio provides various flexible deployment options to support given business needs and system landscapes. The figure SAP Master Data Governance Sample Deployments explains two ways of deploying SAP Master Data Governance on SAP S/4HANA.
Hub Deployment
Master Data Governance can be deployed as a hub system. Here, master data from one or more systems is fed into the solution for verification before being replicated to the source and other systems. This deployment option can either use SAP S/4HANA database technology or not depending upon the business system landscape.
Co-Deployment
Master Data Governance can be co-deployed on several local SAP S/4HANA systems or on a single SAP S/4HANA system and reused across the landscape for central governance.
