The cost of data validation is less than the cost of repair.


Database Services
Data Conversion,
Validation, and Processing
We help managers in prioritization, resource management and implementation
of enterprise-wide systems.
Missing customers, misplaced shipments, returned mail and lost marketing opportunities are only a part of the overall damage to your company without a solution in place to verify / cleanse data and guarantee that you have valid customer contacts.
Our data management programs align data across an organization by simplifying processes, sharing or reusing the same data and simplifying the technology architecture necessary to support the business. These programs align overlapping and "siloed" systems to enhance the fundamental capabilities of the organization's information.
Consider:
The cost of continuing with corrupted data
The cost of continuing without data
The cost of recreating the data
The cost of notifying users in the event of a compromise.
On-site consultation involves review of systems, methods and procedures and applicable hardware and personnel.
Includes evaluation of applicability, scope and load capability for hardware, software and process.
Description
Receipt, storage and/or redistribution and manipulation of data from
single or multiple sources to single or multiple sources.
Processing inbound and/or outbound may include decoding, altering via
calculation and compliance with transfer protocols or methods (e.g.
SOAP, XML Post, SQL, CSV, Fixed Field, BCD, or other formatting).
Processing may also include conversion of data to include new elements,
combine or truncate elements, remove elements and manipulate elements
via external process.
Applicability: Data Conversion is usually required for:
♦ one-time system conversions, where data from one system must be ported
to a new or different system.
♦ full or part-time communication between systems, applications or
between elements of a single system.
♦ secure transfer of data between similar or dissimilar systems or
applications.
♦ reporting and analysis, where raw data must be consolidated to comply
with specific needs.
♦ storage of large volume data.
Description
Validation of data for one-time processing or design and development of ongoing validation processes. Ongoing processes may be at regular intervals (Hourly, Daily, Weekly) or individually by transaction.
Applicability: Validation is generally a requirement of:
♦ mass migration of data for business records from one system to
another.
♦ audit use or to upgrade data quality for increased efficiency.
♦ system upgrades.
♦ dispersal or acquisition of data as part of a sale or purchase of
assets.
Description
Manipulation of systems, processes or functions that may
normally be associated with dedicated workstation programming via
browser-based applications. This methodology generally yields easier
distribution, shorter operator learning curves and may incorporate the
Internet as part of the operator or participant pool.
Applicability
Web-based applications are typically used to service application
consumers or operators across a wider scope than a single office or
where large numbers of consumers need access to functionality, making
distribution of traditional “install on your PC” programs impractical.
Web-based applications can usually provide the same functionality as
traditional desktop applications.
Linux Implementations and Applicability Reviews
Description
Applicability review and system design for a variety of Linux only or
Linux/Windows or Linux/Other cooperative implementations.
Applicability
Linux consultation may be useful for:
♦ Using Linux to replace, enhance or augment existing Windows or other
systems.
♦ Verification that your needs match a Linux solution.
♦ Setup and operational methods and procedures.
Systems Review, Critique and Design
Description
On site consultation, involving review of systems, methods and
procedures and applicable hardware and personnel. This includes
evaluation of applicability, scope and load capability for hardware,
software and process.
Applicability
Reviews of this kind are generally indicated for:
♦ Determination of Service Level Agreement (SLA) metrics.
♦ New hardware or software acquisition.
♦ Pre or post acquisition of businesses.
