Enterprise Solutions:
What do CRM, ERP, Data Warehouse and BI have in common?
It costs money to improve business operations. To meet expectations and success thresholds, these applications must be populated by accurate information and high-quality data—data that is relevant, current, consistent, and accurate. If the data doesn’t meet these criteria, investments will be undermined and these initiatives will fail.
Need for Ongoing Management, Maintenance and Monitoring of Data Quality
Careful planning breeds success. Enterprise initiatives such as these require collaboration and communication among cross-functional business, subject matter expert, and IT teams to make certain that only high-quality data is migrated from legacy systems and integrated into these technology platforms.
To ensure that the value of these solutions is maintained long-term and not thwarted by poor quality data, the quality of data that populates these systems needs to be managed, maintained, and monitored on a regular basis. To meet these challenges, companies seek a data quality solution that interoperates with all types of data integration technologies, business processes and operational systems to meet enterprise requirements. The only data quality solution that profiles, discovers, improves, monitors and governs data and scales seamlessly across applications, systems, and platforms to meet the intense demands of the global enterprise is the Trillium Software System®.
Assessing Risk
The first challenge is assessing risk. To accurately scope projects and estimate the time required to prepare data for integration, teams need to evaluate the current state of the data—the underlying structure of the data and whether it is misfielded, incorrect or incomplete. This step requires powerful profiling and discovery technology that reveals the true condition of data including data formats, patterns, anomalies and dependencies that can impede the integration process. The Trillium Software System enables robust data profiling and automated discovery throughout the migration and integration process.
Empowering Data Owners
Once initial data profiling and discovery is complete, teams require a collaborative and intuitive data quality platform that enables users who know and apply the data in daily business (business analysts, data stewards, business users) to manage and improve it for business use. They require a data quality solution that supports data throughout the entire usage cycle, from initial assessment (profiling and discovery), on to the creation of data cleansing and matching rules, through implementation and into production systems. The Trillium Software System supports the entire usage cycle and lets users monitor the quality of data migrated and integrated into CRM, ERP, DW&BI systems on an ongoing basis.
Enforcing corporate standards with Reusable Processes and Rules
The ability to create and reuse data quality business rules easily and efficiently is paramount to ensuring the success of any data integration effort. Large-scale data management initiatives require business rules for validation, cleansing, matching and de-duplication. And users need the capability to tune these rules easily to customize them for use in specific applications and environments.
It’s at times like these that organizational teams realize they want to create data quality rules and processes once and apply them to across the enterprise to ensure the consistent application of corporate standards and processes to data assets, keep data in peak condition, and provide the foundation for related change management processes and impending data governance programs.
For all this to happen, these organizations require a single, fully integrated data quality solution that promotes collaboration and lets business, IT and subject matter expert teams work together to review, analyze, and correct the data issues that impact the business throughout the project life cycle.
