Enterprise Data Management

Enabling improved data management processes

All organisations face the challenge of making the most effective use of their data. Efficient data processes can be a key business enabler for some organisations allowing them to operate in an agile manner; for many others unwieldy data processes can stifle their success creating customer dissatisfaction, overhead in operations and incorrect reporting and decision making. The pace of market and technology change is placing increased demands on organisations to have agile data solutions, from the need to bring together IT solutions rapidly due to M&A to the need for consistent master data for consolidated reporting or harmonised multi-channel processes.

Master data management is a significant issue for organisations that rely on consistent, accurate and reliable data to underpin effective and efficient business processes. Most organisations recognise the value of centralised master data as a key enabler to consolidate data management teams, deliver a single version of the truth and create joined-up processes based on common customer, product or vendor data. However, even organisations that have invested heavily in enterprise applications continue to hold many silos of master data, such as customer data that sits in CRM systems, (manual) reporting systems and supply chain execution solutions as well as core order processing solutions.

Data Integration capabilities are required to move bulk data between systems including master and transactional datasets. Data Integration requires flexible modelling tools to connect to source systems, make necessary transformations and distribute to target systems.

Data Quality Management enables organisations to profile their data and to implement measures to cleanse data through a rules-based solution.

Meta Data Management solutions allow organisations to audit metadata from disparate sources and analyse the integrated metadata to get information on data usage and for compliance requirements.
