Optimized data quality in heterogeneous enterprise architectures
The majority of IT infrastructures frequently consist of a system landscape with a variety of IT systems which have developed heterogeneously. Guaranteeing a uniformly high data quality with consistent data and data structures here is a real challenge which pays dividends if it is met, because if your IT systems make a contribution to providing a higher data quality in all business applications, the efficiency of your business processes and your competitiveness will be increased and the costs of data storage and maintenance appreciably reduced.
- Ensure reliable merging of product data (Product Data Integration) and customer data (Customer Data Integration)
- Gain a single view of the customer for more effective customer communication, exploitation of up/cross-selling potentials and deeper relationships with customers.
- Reduce the costs of external services (e.g. for checking credit ratings), since customer information is already available in other areas (e.g. other companies of the group).
- Increase transparency in the case of changes of name or address through central maintenance processes which automatically provide all applications with the updated information.
- Secure more favourable conditions of purchase through transparent supplier profiles.
- Increase the data quality in applications, in which direct integration of data quality functions is not economically practicable (e.g. old systems)
- Centrally guarantee adherence to governance and compliance policies.
- Integrate data quality functions as Web services in heterogeneous IT landscapes.
- Use standardized data quality services in all input channels and secure high data quality across the company
- Obtain more flexibility and cost efficiency by providing data quality services on-premise, on-demand or in individual combinations
- On-premise: Seamlessly integrate all solutions for Data Profiling, Data Cleansing, Real-Time Data Quality and Data Quality Monitoring in your IT infrastructure – ideal for the frequent use of particularly sensitive data or extremely large data stocks
- On-demand: Use the Real-Time Services as a data quality firewall and the Batch Services for Data Cleansing comfortably via the Internet as Software as a Service – perfect for your on-demand application (e.g. salesforce.com) or your locally installed application for occasional use or smaller data volumes.
- Combination: Combine the advantages of both concepts for your tailor-made solution and use Data Quality Solutions flexibly as and when required.
