Good data management is essential to achieving your business plan objectives
Data management
Data management is an ongoing process that works to eliminate waste and enables the smooth and efficient operation of your business. Good data underpins every business activity from human resources to billing and fulfilment.
Sending an invoice to an old address could mean payments aren't received. Acquiring data that mirrors the existing contact details you have for a customer could effectively double the cost of mailing - or more. The data on which your business runs needs to be managed on an ongoing basis.
Data management solutions help you enable your business plan objectives. The diagram below shows the processes involved in an iterative data management solution. Critical factors - ownership, acquisition and cleaning - all enable the achievement of strategic objectives.

Batch Imports
Batch data processing enables high speed data migration and reformatting. Products like Inaport reduce infrastructure costs by integrating data silos. Paribus integrates with Inaport to deduplicate data being migrated into and out of a database.
Data Insert
PowerEntry enables the creation of high quality Account and Contact records through user-entry and provides the means for users to check for duplicates before adding data. Address verification and standardization products like MailRoom Toolkit or QuickAddress Pro, integrated with PowerEntry, allow you to validate addresses against certified postal information at point of entry.
Data Cleansing
Paribus matches and consolidates data anywhere in the business to eliminate waste and increase productivity. Auditing and cleaning data, to maintain high levels of data quality, are key elements in a strategy for data management.
