PeopleSoft Frequently Asked Data Quality Questions
How can a data quality solution be implemented into PeopleSoft Applications?
Choosing our data quality solutions for PeopleSoft provides a tight integration of our core technology from within the PeopleSoft architecture. Additionally, our solutions can be customized to meet your business's PeopleSoft system and adjust for existing customizations you may have made.
When should I integrate data quality into my PeopleSoft Applications or other projects in my enterprise?
A data quality solution should be integrated any place where data is entered, loaded, processed, or updated. Quality data should be built into the beginning phases of all CRM and ERP projects. Too many projects focus on data quality as an afterthought, at the back-end of a data repository or when a project has failed. By not incorporating data quality measures at every customer touch point, on both front and back-end operations, the cost of cleansing the data dramatically increases as well as how long the cleansing process takes to complete.
Can I integrate a data quality solution within other software applications?
Data quality solutions can be fully integrated into CRM, ETL, EPM or ERP solutions and have the advantage of being "seamless" to the end user — reducing the learning curve, as well as decreasing the implementation timeframes. Your data process flow should not have to be modified to add a new data quality solution. Through integration and strategic partnerships you are assured that you are getting a market- leading technology. However, keep in mind it is not absolutely necessary for the solution to be fully integrated. Business Objects also provides tools that your organization can easily integrate on your own, and often times (stand-alone) solutions could be more effective for specific projects. Will a data quality solution handle my international data? Yes. Customer data quality on a global level can be achieved in much the same way as in the Americas. Look for vendors that allow you to identify country names, format and standardize addresses, correct missing address information, and assign postal codes for each respective country. Localizing an address is also critical to effectively target your customer. For this reason, be sure your software provides regional language translation for multilingual countries as well as full recognition of diacritical characters. With a good data quality tool you can reach your customers whether they are next door or halfway around the globe.
What are the benefits of a data quality solution?
The biggest benefit is the confidence you have that your data is accurate. A data quality solution also allows you to:
- Manage customer data in different formats on separate databases
- Consolidate multiple identities of the same customer across several legacy data sources, and create a single customer view
- Help organizations build and maintain successful relationships
- Provide quality information so businesses can do a better job of understanding and servicing their customers
- Enhance knowledge management and business intelligence initiatives with reliable and accurate information
- Enable enterprises to deliver clean, reliable data throughout their expanding information supply chains to all varieties of operational and analytical applications.
