Sales Planning vs. Demand Planning: Getting Sales Back Into S&OP
Featured Presenter:
Danny Smith, Vice President, Industries, Steelwedge Software
In recent years, functions other than Sales – including Supply Chain and Finance – have often taken ownership of predicting future sales. The process has become an aggregation exercise done by specialists, and the name itself – demand management – indicates that the Sales team is not intimately involved. But true S&OP requires Sales to “own their number,” which delivers company-wide benefits because Sales is the closest to the demand signal.
In this webinar you will learn about:
- The Sales Planning Challenges
- The Keys to Success
- How a Sales Planning Platform Can Help You Hit Your Number

Modern management of data pipelines made easierCloverDX
From data discovery, classification and cataloging to governance, anonymization and better management of data over its lifetime.
- How to make data discovery and classification easier and faster at scale with smart algorithms
- Best practices for standardization of data structures and semantics across organizations
- What’s driving the paradigm shift from development to declaration of data pipelines
- How to meet regulatory and audit requirements more easily with better transparency of data processes
You might think you know what’s in your data, but at enterprise scale, it’s almost impossible. Just because you have a column called ‘last name’, that’s not necessarily what it contains.
Automating data discovery by using data matching algorithms to identify and classify all your data – wherever it sits – can make the process vastly more efficient, as well as helping identify all the PII (Personally Identifiable Information) across your organization.
These slides originally accompanied a webinar that described some ways in which you can better manage modern data pipelines. You can watch the full video here: https://www.cloverdx.com/webinars/modern-management-of-data-pipelines-made-easier
A bird's eye view of the potential dangers data represents to organizations.

As Europe's leading economic powerhouse and the fourth-largest hashtag#economy globally, Germany stands at the forefront of innovation and industrial might. Renowned for its precision engineering and high-tech sectors, Germany's economic structure is heavily supported by a robust service industry, accounting for approximately 68% of its GDP. This economic clout and strategic geopolitical stance position Germany as a focal point in the global cyber threat landscape.
In the face of escalating global tensions, particularly those emanating from geopolitical disputes with nations like hashtag#Russia and hashtag#China, hashtag#Germany has witnessed a significant uptick in targeted cyber operations. Our analysis indicates a marked increase in hashtag#cyberattack sophistication aimed at critical infrastructure and key industrial sectors. These attacks range from ransomware campaigns to hashtag#AdvancedPersistentThreats (hashtag#APTs), threatening national security and business integrity.
🔑 Key findings include:
🔍 Increased frequency and complexity of cyber threats.
🔍 Escalation of state-sponsored and criminally motivated cyber operations.
🔍 Active dark web exchanges of malicious tools and tactics.
Our comprehensive report delves into these challenges, using a blend of open-source and proprietary data collection techniques. By monitoring activity on critical networks and analyzing attack patterns, our team provides a detailed overview of the threats facing German entities.
This report aims to equip stakeholders across public and private sectors with the knowledge to enhance their defensive strategies, reduce exposure to cyber risks, and reinforce Germany's resilience against cyber threats.

Data quality check is too slow
o Profiling source helps us deliver better data, but the process is too slow; and we
cannot meet our SLA. Do we remove data quality checks?
Real world issues
35. Always expect poor data quality
Validate early to keep SLA and reduce downstream burden
Avoid unnecessary validation
Reuse validation rules for consistency
Data quality basic principles
36. Fixing the data may require original source and human review
Keep the source data in staging environment
Delta records might be sufficient
Prioritize business critical data in storage
Keep source data
38. Data processes evolve over time
People forget or leave
Quickly understand the process
Maintain more effectively over many years
Why is documentation important?
39. Job design is documentation too – smaller jobs are easier to understand
Document wisely and to the point
Pay special attention to interfaces and reused jobs
Set documentation conventions

For example you can replace the source with a new source (e.g. you replace your CRM with a different product, you switch cloud providers, etc.)
With good modular design you only implement the source change and WON’T HAVE TO touch the rest of the pipeline time & cost savings

Naming conventions for files, processes, …
Ask yourself a question what the data means to your business and why you collect them? it is worth checking data quality
Poor data quality Inaccurate reporting wrong business decisions
RWI:
Incomplete records
Process fails
Missing alternative path?
Do you backup source delta records to rebuild history in case of an error?
Efficient data process
* Not spending too much time on something that is not worth it
Sooner
File type check
Profile data
Are you expecting an XML file? Check it is an XML file at first.
Profile data (if necessary) before you start individual record validation.
Unnecessary validation
Big data profiling may lead to unnecessary read operations (few lines might be enough? Or leave it for later)
Create libraries or custom components and reuse them as often as possible
Handle exceptions
-
Backup data that you will not be able to retrieve again
Especially those that are business critical
Typically, this would be data from:
Transactional systems
Third party systems
Efficient team work too…
