Data and the insights derived from that information are among some of the most valuable assets an organization holds. Yet surprisingly, a lot of companies operate with an outdated master book of record to reference. Unvalidated information coming from various departments with different formats and key attributes can lead to errors in customer, vendor and inventory data. This can cause a wave of mistakes across enterprise transactions and create time-consuming problems to clean up after.
Investing in Master Data Management (MDM) is one of the most important things you can do for your organization. Having an accurate primary information source to count on sets the employees and software that utilize this information up for success.
Odyssey can both establish your golden copy as well as help maintain data validity moving forward. Through no code automation, Odyssey can consolidate your data sources creating a consistent master version, while saving your organization time and effort trying to manually match back data from different systems. Odyssey can also run data validations on new information to flag any issues before data is uploaded into ERP systems. This manipulation and reformatting are crucial in standardizing the data, including replacing inaccurate values and removing duplicates. With Odyssey, thousands of rows of data can be processed in just seconds.
Benefits of Odyssey MDM include:
- Cost and time savings by shortening the data migration process and preventing data errors in the future.
- Increased visibility and communication across different enterprise workflows through automated notifications, dashboards and approvals.
- Reusable conversions and integrations to your existing third-party applications.
- Automation takes care of the underlying complexity of data manipulations, so the user doesn’t have to worry.
A Golden Copy You Can Rely On
You want to make sure your organization is always referencing the most up-to-date information. To do so, you need a tool that can audit, cleanse and parse data from multiple sources. Odyssey’s MDM solution creates an environment where you can be confident in the information your organization holds and trust your business decisions are based off of reliable data insights. Odyssey will validate data, reformat and match data to consolidate duplicates. This is helpful when preparing data uploads into any existing ERP systems. Data can be automatically cleansed and any flagged errors can be changed all from within the Odyssey platform, before anything is uploaded into systems, such as SAP.
Accurate Real-Time Analysis
The data you hold regarding your customers, vendors and products needs to be accurate. Errors in this data can negatively impact business decision making and create a domino effect of unreliable information across the entire organization. Through powerful no code automation, Odyssey can merge your data together with complex validations and manipulations to ensure consistency. Keeping a clean list of master data can make all the difference whether you are overseeing the sales and marketing cycle for your customers, monitoring inventory and supply chain needs, or managing third-party vendor on-boarding.
Make it Enterprise-Wide
Creating an organizational MDM strategy built on a solid data governance framework will assist with meeting compliance guidelines and future-proofing your company. No code automation can work with your team to identify and consolidate the different data sources. Making sure your organization is on-board and you have identified a process to continue to keep this master data up-to-date is key for continued success. Establishing a data management initiative relies on the commitment from both IT and business users to make it work long-term.
