Master Data Management, a leading South African provider of data governance and data quality solutions, announced that Trillium Software has delivered the latest version of the market leading Trillium Software System.
This release enhances the current capability of the solution to support collaboration between business and technical data management professionals through an intuitive interface that supports the data life cycle methodology that companies engage in to “discover, develop, deploy and manage” their information quality initiatives.
“When evaluating offerings in this (data quality) market, organisations must consider not only the breadth of functional capabilities relative to their requirements, but also the degree to which this functionality can be readily understood, managed and leveraged by non-IT resources, as well as how readily it can be embedded into business process workflows,” said Ted Friedman, vice-president and distinguished analyst at Gartner.
“In keeping with significant trends in data management, business roles such as data stewards will increasingly be responsible for managing the goals, rules, processes and metrics associated with data quality improvement initiatives.”1
Through Trillium Software's methodology of discover, develop, deploy and manage, now embedded into the software's user interface, customers can better manage their data, and clearly understand how data quality problems manifest and negatively impact business outcomes. Organisations discover and understand data as it exists within an enterprise, quantify conditions according to business policies, and create data standards, dictionaries and rules. Business users and IT alike can quickly develop and create automated processes to improve new and existing data using rule integration, improved country support, new process steps and global geocoding capabilities. Next, companies will deploy and publish data processes as re-usable services into the enterprise. And finally, users can realise significant improvements in data stewardship as they manage and administer services while governing results over time and across business process changes.
“Our clients rely on us to provide accurate and consistent information for business critical functions such as regulatory reporting and risk analysis. We have also been involved in a number of successful master data management implementations that require accurate identification and consolidation of master records. In each case, the Trillium Software System's support for a co-ordinated data management approach between business and IT data management professionals has been a key factor in our success. The new release adds even more support for this growing need,” says Gary Allemann of Master Data Management.
The solution includes a number of enhancements and capabilities to help organisations get into production quickly:
Intuitive, unified, graphical user interface and environment leverages Trillium Software's twenty years of data quality expertise and a proven methodology that is embedded into the solution to enable business users and data stewards to ensure high quality data that meets their business needs. The interface is characterised by new role-based navigation bars that help users analyse data and create data processes.
Enhanced Reusable Business Rules extend flexibility of business rules to address data challenges at the attribute level and offer options for cleansing data and ensuring it complies with existing business policies. The software provides a more robust and complex capability to allow for identification and resolution of data issues related to standardization, regulatory compliance and business process optimisation (BPO). Business rules created can be implemented across applications, projects and the enterprise.
Real-Time Deployment Enhancements add value to Trillium Software's long-standing services-oriented architecture (SOA) for more flexible deployment of data quality services. Specifically through ActiveEnterprise Resources, users have new capabilities to rapidly and efficiently perform User Acceptance Testing for ensuring data quality process results are satisfactory to the business. Now, business analysts can verify that the output from data quality processes comply with business requirements before moving into production.
Enhanced Reporting, Charts, & Graphics are intuitive, interactive and graphical representations of data, which make it easier for business and data stewards to understand and quantify the impact of their data conditions for their business. Data stewards can better prioritise activities and actions that improve their data, helping streamline resources and reduce costs. Ten new interactive summary reports display profiling results. These views enable users to drill down into detail results from charts and graphs to better analyse solutions to data challenges.
Integrated global geocoding. Through the marriage of Global Locator - Trillium Software's geocoding information solution that supports 240 countries - with the Trillium Software System, organisations such as insurance firms, supply chain and logistics companies, telecommunications businesses and others can more clearly identify business risks related to geospatial data and location intelligence.
