The Great Master Data Management Challenge

Enterprises suffer from considerable business inefficiencies, operational failures and financial loss due to duplicated, inaccurate, inconsistent and mis-classified master data spread across numerous enterprise applications. The dangers and costs of this critical business problem are multiplying as globalization, data sharing with trading partners and regulatory compliance requirements are all increasing. Many enterprises will attempt to solve these issues by implementing a Master Data Management (MDM) solution.

The challenge of synchronizing and perfecting product, part, customer, supplier and financial data originating in multiple source systems is daunting. Some MDM solutions excel at aggregating the data from its various sources, but without much focus on the data itself. Other systems place more focus on the data itself, but require massive projects to formulate the rules, dictionaries and scripts that will allow software to automatically de-duplicate, standardize and classify the enterprise's complex data. Since no set of manually defined rules can address every conceivable situation, accuracy is less than optimal and ongoing manual rule and script development efforts are required. The difficult and resource-intensive nature of these solutions has prevented many companies from succeeding at – or even attempting – MDM. Until now.

A Faster, Smarter Approach to MDM

Built on Zoomix's patent-pending Self-Learning Technology, Zoomix Accelerator offers enterprises a fast and highly-automated track to realizing the key business benefits promised by the MDM approach. Zoomix Accelerator combines advanced semantic analysis with machine learning to automatically eliminate duplicates, inconsistencies and redundancies in corporate master data. Self-Learning Technology allows the software to learn, understand, and correct any type of complex master data on the fly.

The technology, integrated into existing applications and workflows, begins delivering business benefits immediately while obviating the need for large-scale pre-deployment projects. No manual rules development is required, and the software continues to learn and improve its accuracy in the background, by "observing" decisions made by business users as they go about their routine work.

The result is that information consumers in the organization have access to united, accurate, complete and timely data, ensuring:

• improved business efficiency
• better customer service
• more effective marketing campaigns
• faster new product introductions
• less expensive procurement
• more efficient inventory management and
• more accurate financial reporting and business analysis.

Zoomix Accelerator dramatically speeds up and eases the roll-out of any MDM solution by addressing the core data consistency and synchronization issues of all complex data types, allowing you to:

• Intelligently unite data from multiple sources
• Cleanse and normalize structured and semi-structured data
• Auto-classify items to any taxonomy
• Match and de-duplicate automatically, and with great accuracy
• Enable in-line data correction and assurance services to all applications
