Information Landscape™ Services
We help clients build the technological infrastructure and management design necessary to manage data effectively. Our Information Landscape™ Services include designing the business processes that generate data, optimizing the systems that capture and store data, and streamlining the way data is distributed. It also includes building the organizational capabilities to manage data quality effectively.
Information is the life blood of the modern enterprise, but in many organizations it is not optimally managed and inadequately utilized. In many enterprises, individual departments create their own data silos that are inaccessible to anyone else. In other cases, there are multiple sources of the same data that conflict with each other, causing confusion and “data quality” issues. Without proper management, these problems get worse over time.
We help clients rationalize their approach to information management, improve the quality of their existing data, and put in place the technology and organizational structures to get more value from these assets.
Our work on the Information Landscape™ typically involves:
- Creation of an inventory of data that will help the client better achieve its business goals
- Establishment of clean data sources through improved business processes
- Development and implementation of a technology modernization strategy (including evaluating technology vendors and recommending technology partners for implementation)
- Implementation of enhanced data sharing and utilization business processes
- Measurement of the returns on investment in information management
- Skills enhancement of the client through training on how to produce and maintain high quality data
We are able to recommend best practices in database design, service oriented architecture (SOA) and cloud computing, innovative techniques in master data management (MDM), creation of appropriate roles of data expertise and implementation of streamlined business processes.
