Continuing our ASUG SAP d-code Meeting the Speaker series I am pleased to introduce Charles Reeves of Graphic Packaging (pictured to the right/below).  His session is titled Implementing and Configuring an Enterprise Master Data Management and Data


From the abstract:

The objective of this session is to review Graphic Packaging International, Inc.'s journey to implement a new enterprise master data management and governance system using SAP Information Steward and SAP Data Services. GPI is a leading global packaging company. The implementation involved creating new roles for people, new processes, and new technology.

Here is the Question and Answer with Charles:

Q: What do you hope attendees will gain by attending your session?

This tool in combination with good business processes can be an invaluable asset to any successful company.
