How clean is your Wind Shield ?

“ Ultimately, poor data is like dirt on the windshield. You may be able
to drive for a long time with slowly degrading vision, but at some
point, you either have to stop and clear the windshield or Risk
everything.” - Ken Orr Institute


Impact of Poor Data Quality
“… Fortune 1000 enterprises will lose more money in “Data integration and data quality are
operational inefficiency due to data quality issues fundamental prerequisites for the successful
than they will spend on data warehouse and CRM implementation of enterprise applications,
initiatives.” such as CRM, SCM, and ERP.”

Operational Efficiency
Customer Service

 Increased data management costs
 Ineffective Cross-sell/Up-sell
 Increased sales order error
 Lower call center productivity
 Delayed sales cycle time (B2B)
 Increased marketing mailing costs
 Mediocre campaign response rate
 Reduced CRM adoption rate

Risk, Compliance Reduced IT Agility
Management

 Heightened credit risk costs  Increased integration costs
 Potential non-compliance risk  Increased the time to bring new projects and services to
market
 Increased report generation costs
 Proliferation of data problems from silos to more
applications


Fragmented data is the source of the problem

Ever proliferating islands of information
…in disparate applications covering multiple
channels, divisions & functions

Data Governance Leadership


Data Governance ( DG )

DG is all about establishing the
strategies, objectives and policies
to effectively manage corporate
data by specifying accountability
on data and its related processes
including decision rights.
For example, DG defines
• Who owns the data;
• Who creates records;
• Who can update them; and
also,
• Who arbitrates decisions when
data management
disagreements arise.

People, processes and technologies are the building blocks for Data Governance


Data Governance Technology Requirements

Easily Operate hub
Enforce
Define enterprise master data • Execute day-to-day hub operations
Define and view data policies (Consolidate, Cleanse, Share & Master)
Data accountability • Perform data steward tasks, such as
Escalation process merge/unmerge
Administer hub

Monitor hub operations Fix data issues

• Analyze hub DQ metrics • Fix import errors and resubmit
corrected data
• Track sources of bad data
• Proactively watch & repair data

Commercial in Confidence © Copyright 2010 Hitachi Consulting

Some Examples of DG Council Action Items
 Addition of any global languages needs DGC approval

 Rules to curtail data decay need to be formalized .e.g.. All golden records that are
not updated for the last 6 months needs revisit from customer calls.
 Hierarchy Management of customers needs to be visited occasionally, as new
branches can be added to accounts.
 Exception management process (DQ Assistant)related functionality needs revision
and monitoring from DGC.
 Any updates for Transports and Connectors w.r.t. change, upgrade etc needs DGC
approval
 Any changes to Authorization and Registry services needs approval of DGC

 There are 3 possible outcomes:

Threshold Type Threshold Score Description
Auto Threshold >= 90 UCM will automatically merge the two records
(Auto-merge) (except for Sales Records)
Manual Threshold <90 and =>70 UCM will flag the records to have a Data
Steward review and determine whether or not
to merge

Auto Threshold <70 UCM will create a new record and publish the
(Create New Record) record to the boundary systems


Merge Criteria used within UCM
UCM Merging Process
 Threshold Score:
 90% or above - the incoming record will merge with the existing record using the
survivorship rules*
 Less than 90% greater than 70% - the incoming record will be potentially merged depending
on the Data Steward’s decision

If the Matching Threshold score falls within this
range, the Survivorship Rules will apply
* Sales Records will
never be auto merged

 Data Stewards needs to review the record within the “Incoming Duplicates” screen

 When a Data Steward selects “Link & Update”, UCM will update the

 After reviewing the record information, the Data Steward can return to the

Guided Merge and Un Merge Process
UCM Existing Duplicates Create and Merge Accounts
 The “Existing Duplicates” screen is only used when records are loaded into UCM
using a batch process
 Only potential duplicates will be displayed in the “Existing Duplicates” screen
 Potential duplicates can be view “Duplicate Contacts” under Administration-

Guided Merge
Guided Merge allows end-user to review duplicate records and propose merge by
presenting three versions of the duplicate records and allows end user to decide how
the record in the UCM should look like after the merge task is approved and committed.
• Victim: the record that will be deleted (from master BC)
• Survivor: the record that will be (from master BC)
• Suggested: output from Surviving Engine (transient to the task)


Incomplete Records processing
Data Steward will analyze and re-process the Incomplete data through UCM Batch
process.

 Survivorship Rules are used to automate the quality of the master customer data.
 Once a record is determined to be merged, UCM will compare each attribute
within a record and update the record accordingly
 Data Steward will change the Survivorship rule weight age depends on source
system’s and surviving field in Master record level.
 There are three comparison methods used by Survivorship rules:
• Recent – Incoming value will always survive
• History – Existing value will always survive
• Source – The value from the source will survive a.k.a., External Systems or Siebel.

Remember that whether a record is auto merged by UCM or manually selected to be
merged, the survivorship rules will apply.
