Data Preparation

The second step in the Data Synchronization process is updating your product data to conform to the standards determined necessary during Data Planning.

DATAgility has specialized methods to aid in the cleaning and updating of your product data, but more importantly, many years of combined expertise in the management of electronic product data. We know what to look for!
We will help you prepare your data for the following areas:

• Certification Readiness. Preparation for your industry’s data certification program is an essential first step toward meeting most channel partner data needs.
  
• Internal Data Synchronization. Once you have your product data mapped to an industry compliant repository, it is critical that all internal systems are in sync with this central “master” system that provides regular, automated channel partner exports.
  
• Channel Partner Needs. Industry data requirements vary widely by key resellers, as well as other markets like retail (GDSN) and industrial. Detailed field-by-field guidelines are required to satisfy channel partner needs with this data.
  
• Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Preparation. Research on these RFID solution concerns found that “the majority of respondents planning to install RFID were highly concerned about data quality and sync”, as follows: Poor Quality – 88.7%; Lack of Data Sync – 88.2%.
