Success Story Manufacturing
Fortune 10 Automotive Company Eliminates Data Errors by 98%
Large organizations need to create structured relationships for complex data to manage it and unlock its best value easily.
The customer—a Fortune 10 company that designs, manufactures, and markets vehicles and vehicle parts—generated an immense amount of data. They needed a master data environment that would treat all hierarchies and push a correct version of truth downstream for processing.
The new automated pipeline solution created for the customer delivered various benefits:
The customer’s data deluge presented a host of problems:
Past Acquisition Clarity Lack of clarity regarding past acquisitions, streamlining data, and picking a master golden record became bottlenecks for various business applications
Coordinating Processes Difficulty in coordinating processes, leading to tedious manual activities for the same on the last 13 days of each month
Complex Global Hierarchies Difficulty in dealing with complex global hierarchies used in various planning and accounting applications
Robust hierarchy management Lack of a robust hierarchy management system hindered downstream processing
After analyzing the customer’s requirements and existing systems, Apexon delivered a cutting-edge solution that included:
A pipeline to collect new data feeds, change requests, and build a complete hierarchy management system with match-merge and fuzzy-match-driven criteria
API-integration with MDM systems to run validations, build staging versions, view changes, and automate the month-end MDM maintenance process
A custom asset workflow to allow users to map the governance system attributes to MDM systems
Automated validations to ensure smooth month-end processing
Staging versions to enable processing of future-dated requests
