Features
Resolve Data Integrity Issues
Alert data stewards automatically to potential issues that need attention; no searching is required
Distinguish between issues:
• Potential duplicates within the same database
• Linkages of records at different locations for the same file
• Overlays in which two files are combined into one record
• Review identifiers, where unique identifiers are detected in more than one recordFilter data, view and manipulate relationships in which data are involved, and edit errors
Monitor the effectiveness of data quality processes and track metrics
Use tags to group and identify issues to manage the workflow of a data stewardship team and enable collaboration across the organization to resolve issues
Identify and resolve data quality issues specific to relationships that can be derived from the data
Create Master Data
Centralize data definition and editing in organizations without a master data source
Compare enterprise data, giving data stewards the ability to manage, view and edit these data
Make more informed business decisions and leverage data across the enterprise in a new and meaningful way
Navigate and Understand Relationships
Inspect and visualize data and relationships of any type (multiplicity relationships and 1-to-many relationships), using tree and network views. Relationships can span multiple entities and multiple domains
Visualize relationships on a fine grained level or a very high level, e.g. relationships between two specific entities or cloud view that covers 10’s to 100’s of entities
Define relationships which should be updated if reference data changes, and designate relationships which should not be overwritten
Determine relationships based on values in the data or manually define them
Review and resolve relationship issues
Configure relationship types; for example, owns, purchases, supplies, manages
Recreate relationships at a point in time with full context around the relationship, including the ability to reconstruct the attributes associated with the relationship
Manage large sets of hierarchical relationship reference data such as those offered by Dun and Bradstreet and Equifax Austin Tetra
Manage Hierarchical Relationships
Maintain and manipulate multiple hierarchies (e.g. pricing hierarchy vs legal hierarchy vs sales hierarchy) via advanced drag-and-drop hierarchy and relationship-visualization capabilities, letting you view the same set of data from different perspectives
Load hierarchical and other relationship data, create appropriate linkages between them, and enforce those relationships
Navigate multiple hierarchies with no limits on depth
View matches between customers to their hierarchies to enable rollup and drilldown analysis and navigation
View the comparison of internal hierarchies against external reference hierarchy
